The Resistance At The Kavanaugh Hearings: More Than 200 Arrests
Opponents of Kavanaugh's nomination don't have the votes to derail his confirmation, but protesters voiced their concerns at his hearing about a conservative majority's impact on the Supreme Court.
It took less than two minutes for the first protester to be ejected from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh's opening day of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Seconds later, a second demonstrator was thrown out of the hearing room, followed by another, followed by another.
"This is a mockery and a travesty of justice," yelled one protester this week. "Kavanaugh can't be trusted," shouted another. Some protesters wore shirts that read things like "I am what's at stake." Others arrived on Capitol, the story of a dystopian future in which women are treated as property of the state.
