Man Arrested for Attempting to Murder Justice Kavanaugh - Should the House Pass the Bipartisan Supreme Court Security Bill?

Supreme Court justices, Congress & the executive branch should have the same security our elementary school children get. 

You want to be safe?

We want our children safe!!!

Justices can always carry around a firearm for self-defense, or are they not aware of the 2nd Amendment that most of them love strengthening all the time? In all seriousness, until Congress first passes a bill to protect schoolchildren from mass-shootings, then Justices should not get special treatment. 

This is an example of how incompetent Congress is. Even as simple as this they can't get accomplished. 

Side Note: Chuck Schumer remarks were not only inappropriate and unprofessional, but meant to incite. There should be consequences for this.

I don't condone violence of any kind, especially not against government officials such as Supreme Court justices.

 Clearly the man who went after Justice Kavanaugh has issues, and maybe if Republicans ever passed better mental health coverage we could get him some help.But they won't, and they're certainly not going to take away his gun, so I guess we're lucky that Kavanaugh is ok.

 I'm convinced Brett Kavanaugh is an alcoholic sexual assaulter, but he doesn't deserve to be threatened or attacked this way. He just deserves much more investigation into his history and record, and ethics. 

 Now is a good time to remember the difference between peaceful protests (even at justices' homes) and violent threats. Peaceful protest is still allowed under the First Amendment, but what this attacker did is wrong and should result in criminal punishment.

 For those not paying attention, this attacker DOES NOT represent all protesters, all Democrats, or all critics of the Supreme Court and its justices. He is one man.

Unlike the rest of us, Brett Kavanaugh is protected by taxpayer funded Secret Service and not at risk from madmen with guns.

ONLY after 

a) they (congress senate scotus judiciary police) secure our kids from guns unconditionally 

b) scotus does not nullify any gun control reforms 

when an official is under threat they are ready to jump 

when our kids are dying we are bombarded with sheer nonsense from these same idiots? 

let sanity prevail / until then you have NO RIGHT to be more secure than the rest of us especially our kids 

In the past 40 days there have been 41 attacks on pregnancy centers, churches and pro-life groups. These are groups that just give women options but pro-abortion groups do not want women to have options or actual choice. 

They should have the same amount of protection as our schoolchildren, and people in supermarkets.  

They are not special, and should have to live by the same laws and rules (ABSOLUTLEY NO GUN/AMMUMITION REGULATION) as the rest of us.  Also I think this should apply to our representatives and our senators, too.

Under Nitch McConnell the Senate is where bills go to die. Now he is demanding that the House do its job and pass a security bill for the justices. That's rich Mitch. A guy who wouldn't give Obama a Supreme Court pick, a guy who refuses to take up any bills under the present administration all of a sudden wants something and we have to bend over and kiss his butt. How about some give and take Mitch?

I believe the justices should live under the laws that they create. They create chaos, want us to live by the seat of our pants and then demand security for themselves after creating the danger we are all living under. The conservative justices have been anti-union, pro-business, in the Republican's playbook that the Heritage Foundation has vetted them for. So if they have created a world where our rights mean little; our rights to free and fair elections, a completely Gerrymandered republic, guns whenever and wherever, as much money infecting our politics as possible because corporations are people, inequality like never seen before, an absence of hope, women losing their right s to their own reproductive freedoms, back people losing their right to vote, etc. they should live under the laws they create. I care as much about their security as they care about ours, our children's, our future.

   For the devil of me, I'm in complete loss of words why Speaker Pelosi has continually been dragging her feet in the passage of the legislation designed to protect the SCOTUS Justices. 
   Will anyone possibly explain to me why she is?

Shouldn't our children have the same protection?

In the constitution you have the right to protest on public property, not on private property or do damage or intimidate with guns or kill. You have the right to question all levels of government. It not the supreme courts right, but "We the people " that have the right to legislate by our founding father and the constitution. It would be infringing on yours and my rights.

This is another case for maybe. I think ALL People should be protected from the threat of gun violence. While SCOTUS historically has been a body rising above with the respect of all, this recent crop of Justices has provoked many with political appearances and naive statements. I'm not saying it is ok for this young man to attempt what he did, it was absolutely wrong. I am saying- let's get rid of the damn GUNS already; and, these naive conceited Justices need to know their place and stay out of politics. All people need to be protected from the threat of gun violence.

tip of the iceberg

13 + term limits until then meaningless 

shame on doj

shame on scotus 

shame on congress

One definition of the word 'assassination' is defined as 'a well known person' and then only used for political or powerful people.  I have to think all the mass killings were very 'well known' to their family, friends, co-workers, etc. too.  I also have a hard time understanding why all of our government buildings within the U.S and worldwide to include Congress have as much security as our airports if not more.  I would suggest 'we' as taxpayers remove all their security and provide only what they will vote for 'for all the people'.   There can be risks in the workplace and they choose to work there.  Government employees have the privilege to apply for the position or to be elected.  Our children do not have the that same privilege, they 'must' go to school.  Congress it's time for you to act and become an honest, decent, law abiding citizen. If you cannot, then at least make the playing field equal and remove ' 'all' of your security! 

Don't see a need for this legislation since  the person of interest (Roske) left Kavanaugh house when he saw the US Marshal's and turned himself in 50 minutes later because of suicidal thoughts. The current US Marshal protection provided by DOJ was a successful deterrent.

 Nicholas John Roske basically turned himself in when he called emergency authorities saying he was having suicidal thoughts and had a firearm in his suitcase after successfully being deterred by US Marshals already guarding Kavanaugh’s home.

 Roske had traveled from California to kill a specific United States Supreme Justice because he was upset about the leak of the Supreme Court opinion related to abortion rights, and an upcoming gun control case and the school shooting last month in Uvalde, Texas.

 Roske was carrying a suitcase and backpack filled with a tactical knife, a Glock 17 pistol, 2 magazines, ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crowbar, pistol light and duct tape.

 He arrived by taxi at 1 am, looked at the US Marshals guarding Kavanaugh’s home and left the scene.

 50 minutes later he called Montgomery County Police (which has jurisdiction over Chevy Chase where Kavanaugh lives)  saying he was planning on harming himself and was taken into custody.

 Protection for judges and politicians needs to be a part of gun safety that everyone is protected by. And it needs to be a package of measures as the recent shootings have shown us some shooters but guns the day of of or days before so waiting periods and background checks are the only way to identify them while others already own guns but have mentally unstable behaviors that families, colleagues, friends notice and need red flag laws.

Pelvis will do anything to keep Rowe v Wade as the law of the land.

No how about a security bill for poor people. Eff him.

The justices of the Supreme Court deserve the same security as the Speaker of the House.

This Bill could easily be included in a bill on gun safety legislation. Safety for all Americans should be the goal of Congress.  Reinstate the assault weapons ban, enact red flag laws, raise the age for gun ownership and include gun training as part of any ownership, more thorough background checks and limit the sale of large magazines and/or the number of bullets sold.  None of these impose any hardship on gun ownership nor do they deny anyone gun ownership who is qualified, just like driving a car--it's regulated.  The madness needs to stop. Protect all citizens.

Protect the Justices!

I am not completely opposed to protecting judges at all levels. SCOTUS judges already have 24/7 armed guards. But I do have an extreme opposition to the GOP outrage over the Kavanaugh incident and demanding immediate action to protect their pervy puppet, but doing absolutely nothing to protect our children. So no, no additional protections for anyone, until serious action is taken to assure our children are safe at school & other public places. 

The decision to make laws regarding the safety of the American people should not be based on whether someone is Republican, Democrat or Other.  What I do not like is that if the Democrats want to make things safer, the Republicans go up against them.  After that if the safety is for a Republican, then it gets to be bipartisan.  We as Americans do not like seeing our children murdered in cold blood.  Something has to be done.  If something cannot be done to protect the children, then I would vote against matters that would protect elected officials instead of children.

Every conservative on the supreme court has committed treason and admitted to it. It is the will of the people that they are put to death for this crime.
