Protesters return to Kavanaugh's house, again read the First Amendment, visit Roberts too

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 07/06/2022 - 22:04

On the 6th of July, protesters again descended on the area surrounding the home of Supreme Court "Justice," frat boy, and rapist Brett Kavanaugh. Again they read out the First Amendment in front of his house. This is in response to the Marshal of the Supreme Court demanding in the Washington Post that protesters at SCOTUS homes be arrested. "Justice" Roberts lives nearby and protesters showed up there too.

Update: Kavanaugh bailed out of restaurant Morgan's later that night after protesters showed up in front. Maybe he should speak to former DC Mayor Tony Williams about how bad this can get?

On the 6th of July, what was originally an anti-vaccine mandate convoy but has morphed to a general far-right convoy returned to DC. Shortly after they arrived, their leader (a man known as "Santa") was arrested. After the convoy blockaded part of I-95 on July 4, the MD authorities in a highly unusual stop obtained an arrest warrant for the known leader.
