Scores of protesters broke through barriers in front of the east steps of the Capitol on Saturday, just hours before the Senate was poised to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Protesters chanted "We do not consent, "We are strong," "Shame" and "We are not afraid" while waiving anti-Kavanaugh signs. Capitol Police proceeded to arrest dozens of people who broke through the barriers.

The Senate is expected to vote to confirm Kavanaugh on Saturday afternoon after several undecided senators announced their support for his nomination on Friday.

Kavanaugh has faced a turbulent confirmation process following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct going back to his days in high school in the early 1980s. He has repeatedly denied the allegations.

2. Last night while I was working...

I had two different family members of patients having procedures sitting in the waiting room highly distraught over the upcoming SCOTUS vote. Both were women. One started crying while she was talking to me and I had to try to calm her; the other, about an hour later, told me she was not able to drive all day because she had to take anti-anxiety meds. due to the situation. I've never seen anything like this.

4. This will be like 2016 after the election.

Mass depression and anger for a week, at least. We will each handle it our own, best way. Be kind to yourself and to others. We are all injured right now. I like this post!
