Upon last month's leak of a U.S. Supreme Court document referencing the "Dobbs" decision (one which would effectively end Roe v. Wade), the reaction among leftists was more deranged than usual. It soon escalated to protests outside the homes of conservative SCOTUS justices, a practice which is, by the letter of the law, illegal but the Feds dragged their feet in enforcing it.
With that in mind, is it any wonder that something like this was the next logical step up?
The Supreme Court said Wednesday that an armed man who made threats against Justice Brett Kavanaugh was arrested near the justice’s house in Maryland.
The man was arrested about 1:50 a.m., court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said in an email.
The California man, in his 20s, was armed with a gun and a knife, according to a law enforcement official. The man, whose identity has not been released, arrived in a taxi early in the morning and told law enforcement officers he wanted to kill Kavanaugh, the official said.
The official was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The Washington Post initially reported the arrest, quoting sources who said the man also was carrying burglary tools. He told police he was upset by a leaked draft opinion suggesting the court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, the court’s landmark abortion case, the Post reported. He was also said to be upset over recent mass shootings, according to the newspaper.
Never forget then White House Press Secretary Little Red Lying Hood Jen Psaki's dismissive response when asked if it was appropriate for people to be milling around the justices' homes.

Not to be outdone, here's rhetoric from March 2020 when then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was speaking at a pro abortion rally.
Seems relevant this morning...

Hmmmm. Perceived threats towards two sitting SCOTUS justices if they issue a judgement in which the left would disapprove? Seems insurrection-y, no?
I recall the early 2011 Tucson, AZ shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) et al, an incident where Sarah Palin was held responsible by many on the left (including media types) because her PAC placed a crosshair symbol on a map of Giffords' Congressional District. Even though the Tucson shooting could not be tied directly to political rhetoric, there's little question the motive of eliminating one of the sure affirmative votes to overturn Roe v. Wade. However, progs will never hold themselves or their allies (specifically the group who doxxed the justices) to the ridiculous standard to which they attempted to hold Palin and other right-of-center politicos. And neither will the media.
