Kavanugh Confirmed But We Fight On 3

Washington DC, October 6 2018. Thousands gathered in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose the imminent confirmation of Judge Brent Kavanaugh to the position of Associate Justice by the Senate. A smaller group sat down on the Capitol steps and over a hundred were arrested when they refused to move. A still smaller group of spirited protesters packed the Senate Gallery and punctuated the shameful proceedings below with shouted chants and commentary until they too were hustled out with some arrests. As predicted, Kavanaugh was confirmed by two votes, one of the smallest margins in the history of the Court.

In a morning tweet President Trump boasted that "Women for Kavanaugh, and many others" supporting his nominee were "gathering all over Capitol Hill" but I counted only twenty five at best. Going forward we await the pushback against Trump and his Republican supporters at the polls this November and beyond.
