"Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unfairly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton's restaurant," the restaurant said in a statement.
The right to congregate and eat dinner should not be jeopardized by politics. Everything is in a time and place. It was an act of selfishness that disturbed the dinner of all of our customers.
The Supreme Court has been contacted by a person.
Protests have been held outside of the homes of the conservative justices who supported the ruling after the leak of it. After the Supreme Court handed down the ruling, the protests intensified.
