Sorry SCOTUS but Dinner does not appear in the Constitution.

NEW: Justice Brett Kavanaugh had to exit through the rear of Morton's on Wednesday night after DC protestors showed up out front. A Morton's rep told me: "Politics … should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner." https://politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2022/07/08/schumer-ups-pressure-on-mcconnell-in-usica-reconciliation-dance-00044652?nname=playbook&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&nrid=0000014c-2414-d9dd-a5ec-34bc527c0005&nlid=630318

Kavanaugh "did not hear or see the protesters and ate a full meal but left before dessert." Okay, what's the problem?

1. By this afternoon there will probably be

a bill submitted and passed to ensure that no one can make eye contact with or speak to any right wing member of the Supreme Court.

Because, that's the real issue in this country, people saying things to people who don't want to hear them.

Those six unelected legislators do not believe in free speech if it is anything other than money or loud public prayer.

[NCDem47]

7. I came on here to say the EXACT same thing!

Some dumb law will be passed that you can't even look at SC justice or you'll be thrown in the pokey for who knows how long.

[Bettie]

17. Well, we know that is probably on the schedule already

because, these people are the only ones seemingly worthy of protection.

Frankly, I'm hoping for a falling toilet seat from a decaying space station....or several.

Stop whining and get used to it.

14. Okay, that made me laugh out loud.

[Dave says]

19. It's probably true

Restaurant workers will have their revenge.

I even recall a general manager of a successful restaurant pouring a little fish juice into a hamburger returned by an irate customer that, after biting into it, saw a speck of red in its center. The fish juice trick results in the diner eating several bites before feeling that the burger was spoiled. Obviously, the GM was happy if it resulted in never seeing the abusive diner again.

(This was the seventies. We were a less litigious society back then.)

[rubbersole]

60. I worked at an IHOP type restaurant when I was 17...

...you really don't want to know what happened to food that was sent back to the kitchen (so I've heard). I never send food back for that reason.

I feel terribly for Justice Kavanaugh.

He tried to make a choice, namely where his body should be and what should be inside of it.

Then a small group of people unrelated to him showed up and made it impossible for him to make that choice.

Sad that it's a thing in the first place.

What about freedom of religion? I believe deeply tiramisu is a sin, of satan, and therefore you should never be allowed to have it.

At least one of the 613 Commandments applies, surely, to porterhouse steaks.

[BlueIdaho]

61. Freedom of Speech?

You go your way and I’ll go mine.

[pirsquared]

73. speech is limited by "time, place, manner" restrictions.

Freedom of speech is limited by "time, place, manner" restrictions. Freedom of religion seeks to circumvent such restrictions and exalts personal 'religious' beliefs above all other considerations. Evangelical very rich RW orgs, the Federalists, the Repubs have discarded the (non)-Establishment clause in order to promote their socio-political agendas.

My first waitress job lasted less than a shift. Some middle aged jackass thought he could reach up my skirt only to find that dinner was on him! I added a few words for the tip.

67. "The Road Goes On Forever" by Robert Earl Keene

It also describes what can happen if you put a hand up a waitresses skirt. Never a good idea.

33. What sticks in my craw is the phrase...

"...freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat..."
Apparently a "freedom" that only belongs to the Right?

[Maraya1969]

62. I copied that and been reading through here looking at it. The nerve that they talk about RIGHTS

“Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”

70. "...unduly harassed by unruly protestors..."

He's a Restaurant Spokesperson/Street Poet/Moral Arbiter.

34. Twitter is having a field day with this:

"The right to eat dinner in peace? sounds like an unenumerated right to me and are we sure those actually exist?"

"Sorry, under the originalist reading of the Constitution there is no 'right' to eat dinner. The Founding Fathers never spoke of a right to eat dinner, therefore the right does not exist."

Get used to never having a quiet moment in public again, Brett.

And women all over the United States can't control their own bodies thanks to his stupid religion. Not to mention all the ashiest women prevented from exercising their beliefs that they have bodily autonomy.

Christians like him are nothing more than manipulative misogynists forcing their imaginary sky daddy on every American at the expense of bodily autonomy.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

71. Collateral damage ...

It is unfortunate that people will lose some peace because of the protests against the extremists. The extremists, however, have almost guaranteed that the collateral damage from their rulings will be deadly, not just noisy.

[Hortensis]

72. I believe the collateral damage would be better done to a church breakfast,

but of course only at churches supporting this.

Bring it home.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

74. Oh, I like the way you think!

Some righteous protest songs over the self-righteous might make breakfast fun.

[Bettie]

68. Articles keep saying he was "forced" to leave through the back door

where does the constitution say that judges are immune from the consequences of their behavior.

So, for Beer Boy Brett, people protesting him removing their rights, their very personhood during a large part of their lives, is something he shouldn't have to ever hear or see?

I supposed, he cried about his love for beer at his confirmation hearing.

[wnylib]

thanks to characters like the beer keg frat boy.

What a whiny wimp.

$5 bucks says Morton’s comped his meal but would make whatever death row inmate Kavanaugh orders to be executed next pay full price for their *last* meal.

[muriel_volestrangler]

88. Alexandra Petri proves there's a biblical precedent:

Sorry, but the Constitution contains no right to eat dinner

Oh, this is embarrassing! The right to congregate and eat dinner is actually not to be found anywhere in the Constitution. I have been studying the Constitution very carefully, including the emanations of the penumbras, and I can see why people might think there was some inherent right to dinner. Eating seems so fundamental: Whether or not you want to have steak inside yourself seems like something you ought to be able to determine on your own behalf. Eating and chewing, alone or in the company of others, feels as though it ought to be up to the person most affected, and protected from abridgment of any kind, even by the states.

But actually, there is a higher authority to whom we must answer on this question. The Bible (technically not the Constitution, but there are people working to fix that!) relates that Adam and Eve ate dinner, once, in public, and this was such a grave offense that they were kicked out of their home immediately and hassled with flaming swords. Mankind was then forced to develop farming and wear pants.
...
Some argue that even if this made any theological sense, theology should not hold sway in the governance of our country, where there is (or at any rate, used to be) something called the establishment clause that separates church and state. To this, the Supreme Court responds, “You have hit adulthood, and you still believe in Establishment Clause?”

Besides, it is not merely the Bible that suggests you have no right to dinner and are naive and wrong to think that you do. Why, didn’t the philosopher Pythagoras believe that fava beans contained souls, and therefore avoid eating them at all costs? And where are fava beans served but at dinner? (Lunches and dinners, I suppose, if you are creative — but that is not very originalist.)
