Senators denounce protest staged outside home of Justice Kavanaugh
By John Kruzel - 09/14/21 01:09 PM EDT



The top Democratic and Republican members of a powerful Senate panel condemned a protest held Monday night outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, stating that public officials’ residences and families should be off limits.

The protest, organized by the liberal group ShutDownDC, came in response to the Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote earlier this month to leave intact Texas’s new six-week abortion ban, which many legal experts see as a possible precursor to the further erosion of abortion rights.

The protest route led to some 50 participants demonstrating outside the Chevy Chase, Md., home of Kavanaugh, which drew fire Tuesday from the top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“Politics ain't beanbag. We all know that you have to have a tough mental hide to be in this business,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who chairs the committee, during a panel hearing. “But it's absolutely unacceptable, from my point of view, to involve any major public figure’s family or their home.”

A spokesperson for the Supreme Court declined to comment.
