Armed man arrested near US Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh’s home
Al JazeeraNicholas John Roske of California is charged with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice. A man armed with a handgun who planned to kill conservative US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was arrested near the justice’s home and has been charged with attempted murder after voicing distress about the expected reversal of a landmark decision legalising abortion nationwide, authorities said. The US Attorney’s office in the district of Maryland filed charges of “attempted murder of a Supreme Court Justice” Wednesday, a statement from the office said. Abortion-rights supporters have held protests outside Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland and those of at least two other justices and rallied outside the courthouse since the May 2 publication of a leaked draft ruling showing that the court’s conservative majority was poised to overturn its landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision that legalised abortion nationwide. The Department of Justice said on May 11 that it was increasing security for Supreme Court justices following the leaked draft opinion.
