Two Women and the Protest Against Brett Kavanaugh
They were angry and afraid and joined a “filibuster” outside the Supreme Court Thursday night before the Senate’s vote on Brett Kavanaugh.
On the lawn between the Capitol and the Supreme Court, two women listened to the speeches coming from a makeshift stage outfitted with a “Stop Kavanaugh” poster.
On any other Thursday night, they would have been back home in Baltimore by now having dinner. But the Senate was scheduled to vote the next morning on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, and hundreds of demonstrators had been arrested earlier in the day at the Hart Senate Office Building.
So here they were, after nightfall, two professional women in their mid-forties, protest signs at and just a week earlier by the “terrified” made them angry. They wanted to join a protest—any protest.
