Harassment of Supreme Court justices appalls pro-choice WaPo columnist: 'Beyond the pale'
Marcus slammed protesters who are okay with harassing justices but decry the harassment of abortion doctors
By Gabriel Hays | Fox News

Pro-choice Washington Post deputy editorial page editor Ruth Marcus condemned the harassment of conservative Supreme Court justices in a recent piece, claiming that specifically picketing at Justices’ homes is "beyond the pale."

Marcus’ column followed the recent reports that Justice Brett Kavanaugh was chased out of Morton’s steakhouse in D.C. by protesters on Wednesday night.

A rep for Morton’s confirmed the reports, and decried the harassment of their guest, stating, "Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. 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."

Even though Marcus strongly disagreed with the Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in its recent decision in the Dobbs case, her Washington Post column mirrored Morton’s sentiment that this level of harassment is wrong.
