Disturbing news today regarding Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Or at least it’s disturbing if you’re disturbed by stuff like death threats:

More from the Washington Post:
Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, those people said.

The man was upset about the prospect of Roe v. Wade being overturned? You don’t say.
Breaking: A man was arrested outside of Brett Kavanaugh's residence around 1:45am last night. The man had a gun and said he was there to kill Kavanaugh. He was taken into custody without incident.

I can confirm the man taken into custody outside of Brett Kavanaugh's house last night is a 26 year old white male with a California driver's license. Previous address in Seattle.

Totally crazy how something like this could happen. Who could’ve seen it coming? Other than, you know, literally everyone?
Think this came out of nowhere? Think again.

The real shocker would’ve been if something like this hadn’t happened.
Every Democrat on Capitol Hill who refused to condemn the doxing of Justices and the terrorizing of their families needs to be asked if they’re ok about this. https://t.co/jLYZL4Cuym

Every single Democrat must be asked if they disavow the attempted murder of Brett Kavanaugh.@mkraju You’re up. pic.twitter.com/V1Npcv4K4f

That seems like a more than reasonable question for Democrats to answer.
congrats to the leaker. https://t.co/WUw4iA5CCz

it's a direct link, btw, so don't you dare try and dodge. the suspect said he was there to assassinate Kavanaugh and was motivated by the leak of the draft of the Dobbs decision.
again: congrats to the leaker, whoever you are, on either side of the partisan aisle.

This is what the Supreme Court leaker wanted https://t.co/aruD2nY3Oh

This is what the Democrats wanted.
Two years ago, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threatened Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
Today, authorities arrested someone who wanted to murder Brett Kavanaugh.
Democrats’ insurrectionist rhetoric has dangerous consequences.https://t.co/iQhcEyMcdo

Hey, @mkraju can you ask Chuck Schumer about this video given the news that someone tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh?https://t.co/vXGDuR7tUC
— RBe (@RBPundit) June 8, 2022
2 years and 3 months after Chuck Schumer threatened Brett Kavanaugh from the steps of the Court, a lunatic shows up to his house with a gun hoping to kill him.
Pretty clear line from that through encouraging protestors at Justice’s homes to real danger.https://t.co/vlq7OxeZz8

The Biden administration encouraged this. https://t.co/DHSno2jAfx

They absolutely encouraged it. The Left encouraged it.
I’d like to think that the lawprofs/lawyers who supported mob behavior outside of personal residences would now re-think their positions.
But I’m not that naive. https://t.co/qnTfKSm52a

Update:
Ruth Sent Us terrorists who encouraged violence against SCOTUS Justices sure are quick to downplay attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh https://t.co/I2KTUZ9HV7
