The Washington Post also reported on the arrest:

This is why leaks are dangerous.

This is why doxxing justices is a bad idea.

This is why justices' homes should be off limits.https://t.co/UTb2i8zRAL

Some tweets mentioned the potentially inciting comments of Chuck Schumer:

“I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” – Chuck Schumer

Are we going to talk about “dangerous political rhetoric” or no?

Seems relevant this morning…
