Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had his dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse completely ruined last night after a gaggle of pro-choice protesters gathered outside the front of the restaurant, forcing the accused sexual predator to flee out the backdoor.
Per Politico:
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.
The steakhouse responded by condemning the protesters. In a statement, it said: “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,” the statement continued. “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.”

Kavanaugh, who likes beer, is one of the six conservative justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last month, upending nearly 50 years of precedent which allowed abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy.
According to Politico, the justice was able to finish his meal before escaping out the back exit of the restaurant, although he didn’t get to enjoy a slice of Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake® before he left.
Here’s what Twitter has to say about the whole thing…
Sorry Justice Kavanaugh. Like abortion, the right to eat in a restaurant is not in the Constitution. https://t.co/42Io22zI8D

If you’re appalled that protestors yelled outside a restaurant where Brett Kavanaugh was eating and find that to be uncivil, wait until you hear about the 10 year-old girl who had to travel to Indiana for medical care because Ohio wouldn’t permit her safe access to an abortion.

When I saw Justice Kavanaugh trend I hoped we finally discovered who paid all his dept, and that FBI was going to finally have a real investigation on him, and listen the 1000+ witness who came forwards…. But nope, he's simply upset 'cause he didn't had his dessert.
— Chandramas (Chiara) – EO? (@Chandramas) July 8, 2022
Dear @Mortons there is no constitutional right to eating your meal in peace. There's no biblical reference either. As Justice Kavanaugh is a proud constitutional originalist, I'm sure he understands the incident at your place may be considered bad manners, it's very ProAmerican
— Woke Wokity McWokeface (@CelticBev) July 8, 2022
Justice Kavanaugh complains he couldn’t get a steak to go with his beer. Poor snowflake.
Lying to get appointed and then issuing bad decisions made to keep your corporate sponsors happy apparently have consequences.

I feel terribly for Justice Kavanaugh.
He tried to make a choice, namely where his body should be and what should be inside of it.
Then a small group of people unrelated to him showed up and made it impossible for him to make that choice.
…hey wait a minute!
— Jay Black (@jayblackisfunny) July 8, 2022
If Justice Kavanaugh doesn't want protesters to harass him because he was one of six Justices to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, he should resign from the Supreme Court.
Facing angry constituents is part of being in the public eye, chief. Cry harder!

Stalking judges is not a good idea. I don’t like Kavanaugh, but this is wrong.
Grrrowler
Stalking is indeed wrong. However, peacefully protesting is enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Automatically calling it stalking is a nice way to try to change the conversation, but judges get no special exemption against that right. Kavanaugh made his decisions, he has to live with the consequences.
LumpyPillows
I’m all for protesting. This is stalking. What they do in front of their houses is harassment. Want to protest? Protest outside the court. Hold a parade.
What if they did this to Sotomayor?
You don’t like the court? Want to change it? Vote.
Bromancer7
Nah, it’s not. Make their lives miserable every day for as long as they live. I’m a-ok with this.
Bromancer7
Nope, as long as they are on public property it’s 1st amendment protected protest. And that includes protesting on a public sidewalk or street in front of their houses. If they don’t like it perhaps they shouldn’t have taken away the rights of 51% of the population.
Ken A.
I agree. I didn’t like the vote either but it was their job and they went with their views. As long as they truly went by the Constitution and not personal beliefs. We have the right to protest on public land and places only. A restaurant is not public space, it is private opened to the public. Not only did they disturb this judges dinner, they disturbed other patrons as well. If they want to protest fine, do it appropriately. The court is closed now for the summer, so protesting is a waste of time. I have to question when protesting becomes harassment, becomes stalking, becomes terrorism? It’s not going to change their minds.

Hi @Mario,
It’s cute how when you’re under the “LumpyPillows” screename you always pull the “I don’t like this MAGA person” before you defend them.
As always your troll game is sad and weak.
Eternal.Cowboy
This is really easy. Stalking in D.C. is defined by the Code of the District of Columbia § 22–3133.
What happened to Justice Kavanaugh doesn’t meet that definition. And while I get that your qualifications as “Random Internet Commentator that Usually Gets Things Wrong” makes you feel you that you know better, that isn’t how our justice system works.
woodroad34
What is a ‘good idea’? Voting in an inferior jurist with preconceived ideas as to how to adjudicate an issue without listening or taking into consideration an opposing argument? Doesn’t sound very judicious or open-minded to me. Stalking is what Brett Kavanaugh did in college during one of his drunken beer parties. As long as he made a prejudicial opinion to affect someone’s life and privacy, he’s opened himself to this kind of irony. He’s a public figure and he has to deal with it. No one stopped him from continuing to eat, drink and have pie (vulgarly or otherwise). If “stalking” it was, what’s he going to do: vote cruelly on some other issue that he’s always wanted to vote cruelly on anyways? He’s not fair, he’s not nice, he’s not a good jurist and we get to tell him that.
mastik8
Well, “flee” may be the wrong word. Sounds like he finished his meal, then walked out the back door. This happens to people from both sides of the aisle. Also, has anyone else noticed that Queerty is not allowing comments on the dead naming of Elliot Page article they posted? Censorship from our enemies I expect but from our own?
LumpyPillows
I noticed. Not sure it means anything yet.
It was an odd conversation. Not quite the insulting behavior I was expecting. Purposefully calling Elliot Page Ellen to insult him is wrong. Childish really. Saying Elliot was once Ellen is just a fact. Do people get angry at that? I was unare that was a problem.
Bosch
Maybe Queerty didn’t like how everyone turns into assholes under stories involving trans people.
Calling disabled comments “censorship” is a bit of an exaggeration.
mastik8
@Bosch – So if Queerty disabled your ability to comment you wouldn’t feel censored? Interesting view of free speech. Unlike you most of us will listen to contrary and dissenting opinions without resorting to ad hominem. Maybe you could tell us how to express the contrary and dissenting opinions we have every right to express without, as you put it, turning into “assholes”. I won’t argue your use of that word as you’re obviously expert testimony in that regard.
Bosch
What? You’re not aware of the shitstorm that happens under every trans article?
Nonsense.
Bosch
“Free speech” doesn’t mean every articles is required to have a forum attached. And clearly it doesn’t matter, because you brought the trans conversation to this article.
mastik8
@Bosch – I hadn’t encountered an article on Queerty that didn’t have a comment section before and so I commented on it, especially since, in my opinion, they had so mischaracterized what they were referring to. Also, define “shitstorm”? You’re trying to win an argument, the rest of us are trying to have a discussion. There’s a difference.
Bosch
“Maybe Queerty didn’t like how everyone turns into assholes under stories involving trans people.”
I get the feeling you thought this was about you. Did you somehow not see any of the other comments? People, who get along under any other article, fly at eachother’s throats when the subject is trans people.
The only interaction you and I have had before this, we agreed on something. So what’s this “dissenting opinion” I refuse to listen to?
Cam
Hi @mastik8, here’s a thought, if you’re going to switch to one of your other troll screenames like “LumpyPillows” to come in ad support your comment, you may want to wait more than 30 seconds to do it.
Your troll game, under all your screenames is sad and weak.
mastik8
@Bosch – Actually no, I never thought it was about me but I find it interesting that you point it out and try and spin it that way. You may want to look at that. Regarding “dissenting opinions”, no, I never saw people, “fly at each other’s throats”, I saw people disagreeing. I’m sure you understand the difference. I hope on other issues to agree with you. On this issue I don’t think we are on the same page. Not entirely but I bet if we sat down and discussed it we would agree more than we disagree. I think this medium is part of the problem, so much isn’t conveyed. Keep fighting the good fight.
mastik8
@Cam – Finally! You’re no one in the Queerty comment section until Cam accuses you of 1)posting under multiple screen names, 2) being a conservative troll but in any event 3) “your troll game is sad and weak.” Hey everybody! Cam finally came after me! Oh, happy days. Validation. I was feeling so erased, so excluded. I’m sorry LumpyPillows but I’ll try and do right by you. Cam, I’m expecting great things from you. Oh gosh, this is so exciting. I wonder who I’ll be accused of being next time.
Bosch
Mastik8, your words:
“We need to fight actual enemy, not each other.”
You are clearly aware that people are doing more than disagreeing in healthy debate.
But whatevs.
Eternal.Cowboy
“Interesting view of free speech”
It’s not terribly interesting point of view. It’s in fact based on the First Amendment which is what defines free speech in the U.S. And, Queerty disabling comments isn’t a violation of free speech.
Cam
@mastik8
Sweetie, if you’re going to pretend you aren’t the same old right wing troll account, it’s probably a bad idea to type nearly word for word the same comment you’ve used under other names.
But it’s nice to know your obsession with me is still strong.
As always, your troll game is sad and weak.
mastik8
@Cam – Squeals in delight. Spill girlfriend, who else am I? I must know. The names of my alters this instant or I shall die. Also, please never, ever, ever stop referring to people’s troll game as being sad and weak. That’s now your catch phrase. Trademark instantly or risk losing millions. I see a series of books with that title, then maybe some TV, possibly a documentary. I hear Joy Reid calling. Your life story! I wonder who will play you? There’s also the multiple personality disorder angle. What if none of the accused know they have multiples? Not unusual. Am I actually LumpyPillows? That might explain the Oreo Cookie wrappers and crumbs I found in bed this morning. Imagine if I could get Sally Field to reprise her Sybil role and play me. Speaking of erasure and inclusiveness, that’s a community that needs support and a voice(s). I’m seeing Oscars and accolades. Where’s my scribe to take all this down.
LumpyPillows
Cam, you’ve gone over the deep end. I am just me. Your fixation on people who disagree with you is worrying. See a therapist.
LumpyPillows
The problem is the extreme overreach from loony lefties pushing transgender narratives that are ridiculous, hurtful to women and undermining to support for trans people. They can’t handle the blowback. It is not transphobic to state trans women are not women and we do not agree with the attempt to rewrite history, science and social structures. It’s like these people need to sabotage progress. It’s like maybe they do it on purpose.
MystiRivers
Not sure what they hoped to accomplish but I’m sure it was a delicious steak and more expensive than anything the “protestors” will ever be able to afford.
Bosch
Where do you get your insults; pre-revolution France?
ZzBomb
They accomplished exactly what they wanted. He shouldn’t know a moment’s peace, or be able to walk freely without harassment down the block for the rest of his life. I hope he is forever scared for his own life, like so many others he’s now condemned.
MystiRivers
“They accomplished exactly what they wanted. He shouldn’t know a moment’s peace, or be able to walk freely without harassment down the block for the rest of his life. I hope he is forever scared for his own life, like so many others he’s now condemned.”
And it’s attitudes like this that explain exactly why the Democrats will lose, and lose badly, this November and likely November 2024.
Mr. Stadnick
What a idiotic comment. Are you in middle school?
Kangol2
Are you another screen name for James Hart/Marcy/Mario? I mean, come on. The whole “Democrats are going to lose in November,” “2024” blah blah is getting tired. We get it. Headwinds are against the Democrats already and there is historical precedent (1994, 2010, 2018 even, etc.) but you really should find something new to keep braying. That and your clear right-wing elitism (“more expensive than anything the ‘protesters’ will ever be able to afford”) are glaring. Talk about hypocrisy!

You desperately came here under THREE different screenames in a panic defense of Kavanaugh. LOL!! You’re troll game is sad and weak.

Kangol2
Given how for decades–decades!–anti-abortion fanatics
1) have protested loudly outside centers and clinics providing abortions and reproductive health services to women,
2) have publicly and often violently harassed doctors and medical aides working at such clinics,
3) have issued death threats against doctors, medical aide, office workers at these clinics, and even women seeking and receiving abortions;
4) have murdered some of these doctors dead,
5) have firebombed clinics, and
6) are STILL harassing women and girls and persons with uterus seeking abortions, even now writing into law extreme stalking-enabling and tracking rights for anti-abortion fanatics (cf. the laws in Texas, Missouri, etc.), a peaceful protest outside a private restaurant hosting liar Brett Kavanaugh seems quite minor by comparison.
Where’s the outrage over the ongoing harassment of abortion-performing doctors, their medical aides and office workers, women, girls and persons with uteruses seeking abortions? Why the silence?
KyleMichelSullivan
Exactly. And the SC even said this was all okay.
Well…if women don’t have a right to privacy or body autonomy, then neither do men. Get used to it, Brett. You baked this cake, we didn’t.

repugnantism is on the decline. nobody wants to be associated with the assholes in that party.
when you start thinking of how to cheat before an election instead of trying to win people over on your MANSON FAMILY VALUES youre in for a big loss. some people are saying that republicans dont wipe their asses after they shit and thats why their numbers are declining and they resort to cheating.

Kavanaugh sees nothing wrong with young women being harrassed by protesters as they go into a medical clinic, so he doesn’t get to complain about protesters outside his house or restaurants.
