According to a criminal complaint, Nicholas John Roske was taken into custody early Wednesday morning after exiting a taxi in front of the house. The man called the police because he was suicidal. He said he came from California to kill a Supreme Court justice.
A tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, hammer, screwdriver, and other gear were found in the backpack of the person who was arrested.
He said he was motivated by the leaked majority draft opinion in the Jackson Women's Health Organization.
The home addresses of Justices Thomas, Alito, and Roberts were pinned on a graphic created by a leftist group.
Senate minority leaderMitch McConnell called on House Democrats to pass commonsense legislation to improve protection for Supreme Court justices.
McConnell said if the reports are correct, it would be an assassination attempt against a justice. The kind of event that many feared could fuel a terrible violation of the court's rules is exactly what happened.
The Senate passed legislation to improve the police protection for justices and their families after the leak.
The Senate passed a bill on May 9 to provide around-the-clock security to the families of Supreme Court justices. The measure had bipartisan support in the Senate, but is stuck in the Democrat-controlled House as some Democrats argue that the enhanced protections should be extended to other court employees.
