OPINION:
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh is being harassed with the aim of getting him to resign from the Supreme Court so that President Biden can appoint another radical (“Protesters’ run-in with Kavanaugh at Morton’s steakhouse gets big thumbs up from White House,” Web, July 9). These so-called protesters have upped the ante by hounding Justice Kavanaugh when he was out to dinner. Justice Kavanaugh had to leave via an alternate exit.
These haranguers were following the playbook of Rep. Maxine Waters in 2018 when she sought to drive then-President Donald Trumps’s Cabinet members from their jobs. She said, “I want to tell you, for those members of his Cabinet, who remain and try to defend him, they’re not going to be able to go to a restaurant, to be able to stop at a gas station, to be able to shop in a department store. The people are going to turn on them, they are going to protest, they’re going to absolutely harass them until they tell the president, ’No, I can’t hang with you.’”
The goal with Justice Kavanaugh is to force him from the court. After his dinner harassment, leftist group ShutDownDC took it further, offering $50 for anyone providing a confirmed sighting of any of the six justices who voted to confirm the recent abortion ruling, plus a $200 bonus if the sighted justice was still there after 30 minutes.
These ignorant and naive “protesters” are foot soldiers for the political left’s efforts to destroy the rule of law from the top down. People
really wishing to eliminate the effects of the ruling (and who actually understood the decision in the first place) would direct legitimate lobbying and peaceful protests to anti-abortion states.
