A left-wing group “ShutDownDC” began offering cash payouts last week, to any service industry worker who spots conservative justices of the Supreme Court while they are out in public or dining in a restaurant.
“DC Service Industry Workers… If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details!” the Twitter post read.
“We’ll venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they’re still there 30 mins after your message.”

This story comes almost immediately after Justice Brett Kavanaugh was harassed while having dinner at a D.C. steakhouse last week. The encounter was the result of liberal fallout from the Dobbs verdict, in which he joined the majority opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, and returning the issue of abortion to the states.
Each of the names listed above in the “ShutDownDC” tweet also voted in the 6-3 majority. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the holding opinion.
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH HARASSED AT DINNER: TWITTER EXPLODES
Several days after Kavanaugh’s public confrontation, left-wing organizations, activists, and politicians made excuses for the protesters’ behavior — seemingly showing support for putting virtual bounties on the heads of sitting Justices.
To no one’s surprise, one such message of support came in the form of a tweet from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
“Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines,” she began. “It’s all very unfair to him. The least they could do is let him eat cake.”
I will never understand the pearl clutching over these protests. Republicans send people to protest me all the time, sometimes drunk and belligerent.
Nobody cares about it unless it’s a Republican in a restaurant. Can someone please explain the obsession because I don’t get it

The Socialist Democrat added, “I will never understand the pearl clutching over these protests,” she posted on Twitter. “Republicans send people to protest me all the time, sometimes drunk and belligerent. Nobody cares about it unless it’s a Republican in a restaurant. Can someone please explain the obsession because I don’t get it.”
“Occupy Democrats,” whose website claims the group is a left-wing “journalism” counterbalance to the Republican Tea Party movement, was also vocal on Twitter regarding the harassment of Supreme Court Judges.
“BREAKING: AOC rips Fox News reporter Peter Doocy for complaining that Brett Kavanaugh had his ‘right to privacy’ violated by pro-choice protestors at a steakhouse — she points out that the overturn of Roe got rid of the ‘right to privacy.’ RT IF YOU SUPPORT THE PROTESTORS!” the tweet read.
If such escalation in tactics continues to dominate the political and judicial landscape, things will eventually reach a fever pitch, spilling out onto the streets and bleeding into our everyday lives — Something the U.S. hasn’t experienced in recent memory.
Such attempts to intimidate, silence, and oppress an entire branch of the United States government should be discouraged and condemned at every turn, and deemed unacceptable in American society.
