The screeching harpies will still show.
Via Law and Crime:
The upcoming Brett Kavanaugh investiture ceremony, the customary recognition of his place on the U.S. Supreme Court, is going to break tradition “due to security concerns,” the Supreme Court has announced.
Kavanaugh is slated to appear at the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday for a traditional ceremony, but what he won’t be doing is walking down 44 marble steps in front of the building while flanked by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts did walk down the hallowed steps alongside Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
In Kavanaugh’s case, there will be no photo-op.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said that this is being done “out of an abundance of caution due to security concerns.” It’s not clear at this time if these concerns had to do with the reporting of a specific threat — again, they say its just “an abundance of caution” — but it has been reported in the past the Kavanaugh and his family have received death threats. The woman who accused of Kavanaugh of sexual assault, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, also received death threats.
