Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is forced to escape D.C. steakhouse with his security detail after pro-choice protesters 'harassed' him during dinner and told the manager to throw him out

Kavanaugh was having dinner at Morton's when activists showed up and told the manager to kick him out, two weeks after he was in the majority that overturned Roe v. Wade.

The justice was then forced to leave through the back door, Politico's Playbook reported, as fury continues to spread across the country over the court's recent decisions on gun rights and abortion.

2. It's a beautiful thing.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. Keep it up!!!

[LuvJoesPartner]

4. As my Dad use to say

Too bad, too sad 😢 Mofo,
No pity here….

[MineralMan]

5. Bringing it home! Good for them.

[Blue Owl]

6. Did he start bawling because he couldn't finish his precious beer?

[FoxNewsSucks]

28. I'm sure he got a large go-cup

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. No justice, NO peace Brett you LYIN' POS!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Was he able to take his keg with him?

[RevBrotherThomas]

33. I hear he still likes beer...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. I know it's a waste of time to complain about the Daily Mail, but this is not what happened.

The protesters were gathered on a public sidewalk in front of Morton's. Kavanaugh was inside. At no time was his meal interrupted by the protesters. They did not chase him from Morton's. He decided on his own to leave early by way of the back door.

That doesn't get as many clicks, though.

[delisen]

12. So true. Kavanaugh was not chased. He fled, unthreatened. A cowardly choice. nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. His choice made a lot of sense. It's what I would have done.

Was he dining with his family? Then it made even more sense.

[DBoon]

40. he has made many cowardly choices in his life

this is consistent

[questionseverything]

30. The mail is just repeating what politico reported

Your “defending “ quote was also from politico

Wether he was bothered or not the restaurant themselves were upset, which to me means they are worried the protest would upset their hotytoty clients

So good job protesters!

None of the six criminals or their families ever deserve another moment of peace

[mahatmakanejeeves]

42. Yours is the only use of that word in this thread.

Here's the article from Politico. The incident did not get top billing.

POLITICO Playbook: Schumer ups pressure on McConnell in USICA-reconciliation dance

“THE RIGHT … TO EAT DINNER”— On Wednesday night, D.C. protesters targeting the conservative Supreme Court justices who signed onto the Dobbs decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion got a tip that Justice BRETT KAVANAUGH was dining at Morton’s downtown D.C. location. Protesters soon showed up out front, called the manager to tell him to kick Kavanaugh out and later tweeted that the justice was forced to exit through the rear of the restaurant.

Link to tweet

Daniel Lippman looked into the incident for us and confirmed that account.

While the court had no official comment on Kavanaugh’s behalf and a person familiar with the situation said he did not hear or see the protesters and ate a full meal but left before dessert, Morton’s was outraged about the incident. A rep for the chain steakhouse sent Lippman this statement:

“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. 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.”

{snip}

The protesters did three things that Daniel Lippman confirmed:

• they showed up out front
• they called the manager
• they later tweeted

You can rely on the ShutDownDC tweet as as an accurate accounting of the event as much as you want.

The takeaway quote is "...a person familiar with the situation said [Kavanaugh] did not hear or see the protesters and ate a full meal but left before dessert...."

44. Unnamed sources are gossip, nothing more

[Bayard]

10. NO BEER FOR YOU!

And no peace, you slimy POS.

Kudos to the protestors!

[RANDYWILDMAN]

11. Karma

all it means is what you put out in the world you get back.

Brett you deserve this and so much more.

Enjoy

[joemacdawson]

13. Power To The People

He shouldn’t have another peaceful public meal again.

[Nevilledog]

14. It's all bullshit. He neither saw our heard the protesters.

He finished his dinner and left before having dessert. That's it. That's the grave injustice done to this bag of dicks.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. "Three-headed dog discovered in Westminster Abbey."* It's the Daily Mail.

Of course it gets used a news source in LBN. I don't know why.

* Not really.

Back to your post. Right. That's all that happened. Protesters peaceably assembled in a public space. Kavanaugh and his party, if any, dined in peace. They left without dessert. End of story.

[peppertree]

17. Now THAT's an outback steakhouse

[calimary]

18. Do the crime, do the time, Kavanaugh.

I hope you’re hounded into hiding because of your vote on this issue. And go right ahead and whine about your “freedom” being curtailed. Might make you understand at least to some extent how we women feel about OUR freedom being TAKEN AWAY now.

Not that I expect it will. I do expect he’s got a closed mind. I seriously doubt he’ll see the parallels here.

[dalton99a]

19. Those who deprive others of their rights deserve no rights.

[Jazz Jon]

20. Hurray!

These evil shitstains who masquerade as judges shouldn't be able to walk freely among us. More of this please.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. He will probably

run back to his fellow Right Wing court members and try to figure out a way to outlaw any public form of peaceful demonstration as being un-constitutional..............

Seriously, after the past few months of listening to their USSC rulings, I think we can and should expect anything from that group of Fascist Pro-Corporate Tyrants...................

They want to drive us back to the "no regulations" Gilded Age and the guns of the Wild Wild West........

Putin must be way beyond gleeful at the way he has played Trump, U.S. Republican Senators, and the entire Republican Party.

It is amazing at how easily Putin has played Trump and the Republicans. Putin has completely up-ended and de-stabalized the U.S. Economy and Democracy without firing a single rocket or starting a war with the U.S.

[Demobrat]

21. He has a security detail

paid for by us taxpayers, no doubt. And he’s afraid to leave a restaurant by the front door. He must be worried someone in the crowd has a gun. Go figure.

[IronLionZion]

22. So he doesn't consent or have a choice

That must suck

[milestogo]

23. No steak for you, beer boy.

Vegetables only.

[dflprincess]

24. None of the 6 theocrats

Should ever feel comfortable in public again.

[Pepsidog]

25. He should never have a peaceful minute while in public.

[KG]

26. I checked, eating dinner in peace is not ensconced in the constitution.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. There is no "food" and no "restaurant" in the Constitution

[Layzeebeaver]

31. I do not with the man ill, however...

If it happens that he dies of natural or natural causes (Many may hope sooner rather than later), I will not be attending the memorial service.

Once he's buried, I will gladly piss upon his grave figuratively at first, and then literally once I make it back to the states.

This applies to the other five as well - just sayin'.

[Crowman2009]

32. Good! Make their lives misreable.

[Martin68]

34. Ordinarily I would disapprove of that kind of harassment, but we are not living in ordinary times.

The right is hitting us where we live, so we should make like uncomfortable for them.

[Shermann]

35. There's a long-standing precedent for not intruding on somebody's private dinner

We'll respect it next time...we duly swear!

[Upthevibe]

36. Demovictory9.....

Thanks for posting......

[LymphocyteLover]

37. I don't understand why Kavanaugh couldn't just go to another state to eat?

Why did he allow himself to get hungry in the first place?

[dalton99a]

43. +1

[budkin]

38. "The right to eat dinner"

Is not in the Constitution.

[roamer65]

39. Fuck yeah...freedom of speech is a beautiful thing.

[DBoon]

41. When he receives the sort of death threats that hard working public health servants

received during the pandemic, then I might have some sympathy.

[Demobrat]

45. I won't.

Health care workers aren’t protected by armed security teams when they go out to restaurants.

Apples to oranges.
