Kavanaugh Wasn’t the Only Justice Endangered by the Dobbs Leak
< < Go Back
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh wasn’t the only justice whose safety was threatened following the leak of the draft opinion showing Roe v. Wade would likely be overturned.
Authorities arrested 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske near Kavanaugh’s home in the middle of the night on June 8, 2022, after the opinion leaked in May. Roske had traveled from California to Maryland armed with weapons and burglary tools to try to kill the justice, according to a DOJ affidavit.
But Kavanaugh was not Roske’s only target.
“Im gonna stop roe v wade from being overturned,” Roske told a friend, according to an FBI Search warrant obtained by Fox News, saying he would “remove some people from the Supreme Court.”
…on Tuesday, during which Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley accused Senate Democrats of holding Supreme Court security funding hostage.
“We have had three different credible assassination attempts, or threats, against justices, we still have people illegally going to the justices’ homes to attempt to influence their decisions in cases… we have constant threats and danger to their children, we had radicals post publicly the school location of one of the justices’ children,” the senator said.
