Maine Home of Chief Justice Roberts Targeted By Protesters Arriving By Kayak
From then WI Gov. Scott Walker to ‘conservative’ Supreme Court Justices, protesting at the homes of political opponents is a tried and true intimidation tactic. And it almost got Justice Kavanaugh killed.
Intimidating people at their home is a longtime tactic of the left. It’s not enough for them to criticize you, or scream at you on the street or at work. They want you to know that they know where you live.
For those of you who have been here a while, you may recall The Madison Flotilla we covered in 2011 as part of our ongoing coverage of the insurrection against then Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin:
I should know never to make a categorical statement about anything, because I have several thousand fact checkers/helpers.
This morning I joked that I had not seen any boats involved in the Madison protests.
Thanks to reader Patricia for sending me a link to a post about the Madison flotilla organized to protest at the home of Gov. Scott Walker for the specific purpose of disrupting a party Walker’s wife was throwing….
We all know how leftist protesters targeted the homes of U.S. Supreme Court Justices after the Dobbs (abortion) draft decision leaked, leading one lunatic go to the home of Justice Kavanaugh with a gun.
Chief Justice Roberts’ home in Maine was just targeted in a manner reminiscent of the Madison Flotilla.
They’re calling it the Hupper Island (where Roberts home is locate) flotilla.
The Bangor Daily News Reported:
Kayakers who say they oppose the direction the U.S. Supreme Court has taken the country took to the water Saturday morning to protest near the seasonal home of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.
The flotilla launched its kayaks from the new public landing in Port Clyde and paddled a few hundred yards to Roberts’ home on Hupper Island.
The chief justice and his wife Jane Roberts purchased the home in June 2006. He typically spends time at the seasonal home after the high court recesses for the summer. Their chief residence is in Chevy Chase, Maryland….
Organizer Susan MacNeil-Densmore said earlier this week she is affiliated with the organization Audacity CAT (Creative Action Together) which has been active locally working to resist authoritarianism, but said the event was not really part of any specific organization.
There’s no evidence I’ve seen that they landed on shore, but the point is the intimidation, not actually doing anything. And also publicizing where Roberts has his summer home, so that criminal psychopaths don’t have to search for it.
Signs line the road in Tenant Harbor. Mainers are protesting the Justice’s support of a far-right agenda & the erosion of democracy.

There were literally dozens.
Lol this is the most bored white lib wife thing to do.
Rich white woman thing, too. You don’t see poor people with kayaks.
One never sees a poor judge either. They seem to get as rich as members of congress.
bs
they steal those too
“Chief Justice Roberts’ home in Maine targeted by protesters”
I suppose it’s okay because his Maine home is not his main home.
better check the mortgage documents
‘Oh look, A dozen angry white women on their kayaks. Not a male or child anywhere near by
Karens of the world unite.
Were their cats with them??
Bo. They were in cat carriers stored in their Subaru Foresters back at the dock parking lot.
They’re pissed because we stopped all those single males from crossing the border.
Good point. They were hoping to have a new pool boy or gardener to tend to their needs
And, once the needs are met, clean the pool and thurb the nasturtiums.
/how many will get the reference?
How do you know there were no males? Did you ask each of them for their pronouns?
Milhouse, you’re forgetting that sex and gender are different
No, I’m not forgetting that. “Male” is a gender as well as a sex.
(Oh, and they are different, but not in the way that the trans lobby says; they’re different because words have gender, people have sex.)
“…people have sex.”
We know that, Milhouse. That’s why there are 8+ billion people on the planet!
In case you’re wondering, Maine has been a horrible place, politically speaking, for some time. Steve Robinson covers things well at https://x.com/BigSteve207
Not the majority of it. Maine has suffered the same fate quite a number of places have including NH. Rich liberals that destroyed Mass to the point they couldn’t afford to live there move up I95 to Bangor and surrounding towns. They took over the politics. The vast majority of the state to the north are not all in on the crazy but get out voted.
Massholes.
I guess Robert’s desire to placate the left hasn’t kept the alligators off his shoreline.
When the left hasn’t no more victims, they start going after their supporters.

An appeal to the authority of a crazy white hyphenated chick nobody has ever heard of.
Turns out she’s a social worker from Hyannis, MA.
Ramp up that crazy, Democrats! We love it!
I couldn’t count the number of kayaks but it appeared there were less than 20. I wish someone had the audacity to sink all of them.
If these were conservatives protesting a liberal justice during the previous Administration, the kayakers would have been arrested for intimidation.
I am still trying to understand the Leftist definition of authoritarianism.
No, they would not have been arrested. They would have been treated exactly like these protesters, i.e. ignored and allowed to do their thing on public property, as the constitution requires.
Just like the Tea Party was ignored?
No one in the TEA Party movement was prosecuted for their involvement.
Just targetted by the IRS
You wrote that conservatives
So was the Tea Party ignored and allowed to do their thing or were they scrutinized and often audited?
prosecution IS NOT always the end goal
the mere act of having the ability to harass and make life miserable is ,on its own, an action that the dictators of the world also love to employ and is a very effective tool of BOTH punishment and deterrence
wrong! 18 USC s 1507 prohibits protesting near the residences of federal judges. and if you remember the protests at Kavanaugh’s house after Dobbs, Rinos in Congress were whimpering about that law being ignored
No, it doesn’t. Such a law, were it to exist, would be unconstitutional; so it’s a good thing Congress has never made such a law.
18 USC 1507 prohibits demonstrations only if they are “with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty,”
This demonstration is not intended to influence Roberts, just as the demonstrations near the justices’ residences in MD and VA were not intended to influence them. The intent is to protest their positions, and to punish them for having those positions, but there is no intent or hope of changing their minds.
You don’t think the threat of punishment is a deterrent intended to change behavior? Seems you are at idds with our criminal justice system there
So now you know the intent of unidentified people? Preach on, brother.
Ok sure I’ll grant that on intent…. but only if you also grant that the shotgun pellets that strike the knucklehead protesters were intended to strike the clay pigeons and any wounds are purely their responsibility for entering and remaining in the ‘down range area’ as we put in practice on 2A and their 1A rights don’t override our 2A rights. Deal?
“…with the intent of influencing any judge…in the discharge of his duty”
Isn’t influence the idea behind every protest? I mean, do people protest to not exert influence? The statute does not appear to link the crime to an attempt to influence a judge in any particular case before the judge’s court. It says merely having the “intent of influencing” is sufficient to make the protest illegal.
influence:
to affect or change how someone or something develops, behaves, or thinks
Cambridge Dictionary
Oh, dream on, Milhouse.
Just like the January 6th protesters were allowed to do their thing on public property –oh, wait, they were arrested and held without trial or charge in many cases.
Unlike the peaceful leftist protesters that set police stations, federal property, churches and people on fire.
Unlike the peaceful leftist protesters that occupied federal property, public property, private property.
Unlike the peaceful antifa fascist groups that wage terroristic war with impunity.
Stop lying, Democrat.
“…the Leftist definition of authoritarianism.”
Anything the left doesn’t agree with.
Looking at that picture up there, I’m thinking “One boat, about 30 knots, problem solved.”
“To stand up to tyranny” is their reason but do they not realize that what they are doing is tyranny? Tyranny is the use of cruel or oppressive force to control people. That’s what they are trying to do but failing hilariously!
If they want to stand up to tyranny, shouldn’t they be on paddle boards?
Nope. They’re unbalanced.
“The chief justice and his wife Jane Roberts purchased the home in June 2006. . . . Their chief residence is in Chevy Chase, Maryland.”
Not quite a “man of the people.”
As I remarked elsewhere, so many judges are so wealthy, just like congressmen.
Nah. They aren’t congress critter wealthy,
Decent, civilized, sane people do not engage in intimidation tactics. These women achieved nothing but the erosion of what may have remained of their dignity.
The kayak should’ve been sank
This act warrants a “who cares.” You may meet and greet the ladies at the next local Sierra Club meet.
When we had our lake cottage in Maine, the generally accepted rule was “if you can get hit by a rock thrown from shore, you were too close.” There was a private lodge across from us and the “New Yorkers” who came to it thought nothing of canoeing 15 ft from shore around the perimeter. It got way worse after “On Golden Pond.”
Kayaks?
I wonder if their heads would explode if they were accused of “cultural appropriation”? After all kayaks are a form of water transportation invented and developed by the Inuit. How dare they appropriate indigenous technology???
I understand the Inuit pioneered the technology of rotomolding for kayak production.
like sending illegals up to the protected blue areas,,,
lefty wont care until it happens to them
…..and over the loudspeakers was the theme from jaws
Do they know they’re harassing one of theirs?
