Pro-abortion protesters marched on the neighboring homes of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh Saturday night in the DC-Maryland straddling community of Chevy Chase.

The protest comes after the Washington Post published an article earlier Saturday about a pro-abortion neighbor of Kavanaugh who was protesting outside his home on a regular basis but was having trouble getting others to join her because most people believe protests at private homes are considered bad for a civil society. The Post was hoping to get more protesters to join her at tonight’s protest. The effort appears to have worked.
Usually, she is the only neighbor there.
Still, when a man pushed back on her tactics, she was confident: "We’re about to get doomsday, so I’m not going to be civil to that man at all.”
Her next protest is tonight. She hopes others finally show up. https://t.co/yAYOWIQdwC

Several dozen protesters marched to the homes of the justices Saturday night chanting and carrying signs with profane messages. Police were lined up in front of the justices’ homes. There did not appear to be any attempts to trespass. However, when police at Kavanaugh’s home warned protesters about the illegality of picketing outside the home of a judicial officer the protest got heated and more police arrived. The protesters dispersed afterwards.

The energy is markedly more negative outside Kavanaugh’s house. The anger has become much more palpable than outside any other justices’ house. pic.twitter.com/zY2OY34hcA
