Police arrested dozens of protesters at the US Capitol on Thursday who rallied against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Sputnik Correspondent Alex Rubinstein reported that there was a very long line of protesters trying to enter the Dirksen Senate Building on Thursday for the demonstration. There are leaflets urging participants to join a national call to action to “stay mobilized until Kavanaugh is defeated: No ‘business as usual.'”

Some protesters were joyous at the prospect of being arrested. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s relative, comedian Amy Schumer, told a police officer she was willing to be arrested. She was later led out of the building with the dozens of others taken into police custody.
