Anyone think the media coverage would be different if a nut job was arrested outside Elena Kagan’s and said he was there to kill her because of how she might rule in a case before the SCOTUS?

Front page banner headline blaming white supremacy.
Kavanaugh’s story wasn’t even front page news.
And the BernieBro who shot 9 Repub Congressmen on a softball field and almost killed Steve Scalise, that story was out of the MSM in 3 days- almost the same period as “The Car” that ran down a parade in Waukesha, because, you know…..

Yes, but in fairness I don't think this nutcase got all that close to Kavanaugh.

Only because he called 911 on himself as being suicidal. Other than that….

I read somewhere he took a taxi directly to Kavanaugh’s house and saw 2 Marshals and decided to walk the other way. Who knows what would’ve happened if those Marshals weren’t positioned there.

And Democrats are blocking legislation that would provide Federal security to the Justice’s residences.

The bill was passed out of the Senate. The House would like the protections extended to other court personnel. There are discussions going on to do this.

I wish the same level of concern about one suicidal guy who called the cops, and thankfully didn't harm anyone, would be extended to the the Vice President who some people built a gallows to hang, then went searching through the Capitol looking for him after overpowering the police.

Level of concern? WTH are you talking about? the VP has 24hr secret service protection and there was plenty of concern regarding safety during the events you describe. What does that have to do with looney democrats stalking the personal residences of our Supreme Court justices in order to intimidate or MURDER them? That certainly sounds like the 'threat to democracy' horn that you all have been blowing for the last year +. Paul, I challenge you to stop with the whataboutism and address the topics directly without mentioning Trump or Jan 6. Are you capable or willing to do that? Democrats published the addresses of Supreme Court justices and Schumer whipped the base into a frenzy with his 'make them pay' comments. Does that no disgust you?

Have no idea what your are talking about.
Of course I'm unhappy anyone like a mentally challenged guy is targeting a judge.
Heck, a judge was killed recently by a guy who he had sentenced years before.
I was responding to the comment that Dems were holding up a bill for security of judges. It was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate, and the House is trying to broaden the bill for more protection for the staff.
And yes...I wish you had that level of concern about the safety of the Vice President.
Maybe you agree with the former President who apparently said of the VP when they were chanting "Hang Mike Pence"...."maybe he deserves it."
You guys amaze me some times.

Talk about being amazed? And also amazing that whenever Paul just doesn’t want to (or can) answer a question he just “doesn’t have any idea what you are talking about”.
Paul is all of a sudden “concerned” about the safety of Mike Pence?
News Flash: There were no “gallows”. Mike Pence is just fine. There was one shot fired on Jan 6 in the Capitol and that was by a Capitol security guard who killed an interloper. No legislators were truly in danger and neither was “Democracy”.
Nancy Pelosi yesterday just blew off a reporters question about why the Dems are holding off on Supreme Court security: To wit:
REPORTER: Why, instead of passing the Senate's bipartisan security bill, House Democrats are still in denial about threats to Supreme Court judges?.

PELOSI: “The Justices are protected... nobody is in danger over the weekend".

Hmmm, protected by who? Certainly not any Federal Agents and the Democratic Head of Fairfax County Supervisors refused to assign extra officers to the Justices’s residences, while activist leftists published the home addresses of Justices.
Makes you feel like the Dems actually WANT to have a Justice or two assassinated so Biden can appoint replacements! (Conspiracy I know) But why is Pelosi holding this BI-PARTISAN bill hostage?? Sounds awfully Insurrectionny and a Democracy Threat

Paul remains hopelessly lost. And enjoy your 8.6% “Transitory” inflation!!

You can't do it, can you? Discuss what happened to Justice Kavanaugh without bringing up Trump, Pence or J6th. Do you think Chuck Schumer was out of his line with his comments? Would you agree that intimidating Supreme Court justices is a threat to democracy?

Seems like an appropriate place for this from the Onion.
