realized follows weeks of whitehawk rhetoric as the court considers overturning roe vs. wade. sandra: mitch mcconnell has been warning about the heated rhetoric out of washington, reacted a short time ago on the senate floor. this is exactly, exactly the kind of event that many feared that the terrible breach of the courts rules and norms could feel. this is exactly the kind of event that many worried the unhinged, reckless, apocalyptic rhetoric from prominent figures toward the court going back many months and especially in recent weeks could make more likely. sandra: we have complete coverage on this breaking story. former supreme court law clerk mike davis who also oversaw kavanaugh s confirmation process will join us live in moments. and also republican senator john barrasso. john: what are we learning, david, about the suspect and the circumstances of the arrest. david: he is in federal custody, we don t have his name, he s from california, he has been in fede
clearly had what was needed to break into the justice s home and then kill him. can you imagine being the kavanaugh family and seeing that list, and knowing that man stood outside your home and thank god there was security there that may have been what deterred him. i m sure that the prosecutor is going to argue that s what prompted his call. but this case is obviously likely to come down to a question of mental illness and mental capacity. but it really does show a level of chilling and detailed planning. we have seen this in attacks on judges. i talked to you earlier i came back from a conference out west and struck by speaking to the judges out there how concerned they were about themselves and their families, that they feel like they are targets now of threats, and these are people, decent, principled people that
