\nProtesters could be heard screaming in the Senate gallery as Vice President Mike Pence began the roll call vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Female protesters could be heard screaming, but most of the words were indecipherable. Some chanted \u201cshame! shame! shame!\u201d During the interruptions, Vice President Pence repeatedly asked the Senate Sergeant at Arms to \u201crestore order.\u201d
\u201cVery unusual amount of disruption in the Senate gallery,\u201d Fox News\u2019 Chris Wallace said later during the network broadcast of the voting.
After a week-long FBI investigation that failed to corroborate any of the sexual misconduct allegations against the judge, Sens. Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, and Joe Manchin, decided to vote for Kavanaugh, clearing the way for the Saturday confirmation victory.
