Nearly simultaneous to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote to advance Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court on Friday, a group of about 25 protestors stood outside the Salt Lake City office of Sen. Orrin Hatch to protest the judge who has been accused of sexual misconduct.
Many in the crowd didn’t even know yet that the committee had voted 11-10 to move the nomination forward to the full Senate vote — but they came anyway, many of them angry with what they had seen the day before when both Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, testified before the committee.
