Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh is one of the supreme court justices who voted in favor of overturning Roe Vs. Wade and giving states the freedom to choose if they want abortion to be legal or not. This decision sparked protests and even an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh, due to an opinion regarding Roe V Wade being overturned being leaked preceding the actual decision.
Justice Kavanaugh was subject to more harassment this week, having to leave Washington D.C. restaurant “Mortons Steakhouse” through a back exit due to a large group of protesters gathered out front. This situation is reminiscent of the event that took place in 2018 in which the owner of the farm-to-table restaurant “The Red Hen” asked former Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave when she tried to patronize the restaurant.
A Representative of Morton’s told Politico reporter Daniel Lippman: “Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner.” and continued on to say “There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”
Many of those supporting the protesters have taken to Twitter to mock the situation, one tweeting quote: “Politico clutching pearls today after a handful of “unruly” protesters “targeted” Brett Kavanaugh by standing outside during his steak dinner. Just an absolutely terrifying night for Kavanaugh, who “did not hear or see the protesters and ate a full meal but left before dessert.” and “If only these protesters had the DECENCY to allow Brett Kavanaugh the FREEDOM to finish his lobster salad”

Unlike Sanders, Justice Kavanaugh was allowed to at least finish his meal. Though this in no way excuses the behavior of the protesters, who not only disturbed Justice Kavanaugh’s dinner, but also the dinner of every other patron in the restaurant, and all of those on staff.
This type of sentiment is likely to continue and hopefully, the illegal protesting at justice’s homes can be stopped. Stay tuned for more updates.
