#stopkavanaugh - Chaos at hearing as protests and arrests erupt

The Senate confirmation hearing for Trump's Supreme Court nomiee Brett "KKKavanaugh" descended almost instantly into chaos. The GOP required all questions by the Dems to be submitted in writing and pre-approved. One Democratic Senator moved to adjourn the hearing after having 41,000 pages of documents dumped in their laps the previous night. Protests erupted like a string of firecrackers going off. By the end of the week, more than 200 people had been arrested in days of repeated protest and disruption.
