Supreme Court justices have not been immune to violent crime, but this week’s late-night incident at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home reflects a heightened level of potential danger not just for members of the nation's highest court, but all judges.

FILE - The U.S. Supreme Court is seen behind a fence who stands around the building on Thursday, May 5, 2022 in Washington. One proposal pending in Congress would provide additional security measures for the justices and another would offer more privacy and protection for all federal judges. A man armed with a machete once broke into Stephen Breyer's vacation home in the Caribbean and took $1,000. Ruth Bader Ginsburg had her purse snatched on a Washington street.

But the situation had much in common with other recent incidents that ended with the shooting death of a former judge in Wisconsin last week and the killing in 2020 of the son of a federal judge at their home in New Jersey. Troubled men, harboring a warped desire for vengeance and equipped with guns, turned their threats into action.

When police searched a backpack and suitcase he was carrying, they said they found a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, zip ties, duct tape and other items Roske said he was going to use to break into the house. He said he bought the gun to kill Kavanaugh. Den Hollander, 72, was a men’s rights lawyer with a history of anti-feminist writings. He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound the day after the ambush, when police said they found a document with information about a dozen female judges from across the country, half of whom are Latina, including Salas.

Sotomayor likes to walk among guests at her public appearances, often joking about the armed officers who are there to protect her. “The guys up here. The big guys with stuff around their waist and things. They’re here to protect you from me,” she said to laughter at an event this year. “They get nervous if you get up unexpectedly. ... Please don’t make them nervous.”

I think ABC makes too much of including other Judges when it is mostly been done to Trump appointees who lied to get position or Trump paid or threaten someone like Lindsey Grahm and old lady looking closet queen McConnell.

First can we do the schools, churches, grocery stores…..

Kavanaugh Incident Could Lead to More Security for JudgesSupreme Court justices have not been immune to violent crime.
