YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Before Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, demonstrators come together to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and members of the media stake out his home.

Republicans' decades-long dream of turning the Supreme Court into a conservative bulwark rests on the shoulders of 53-year-old Brett Kavanaugh, whose career path to the pinnacle of justice is jeopardized by accusations of teenage sexual assault.

Standing in the way is a college professor from California, Christine Blasey Ford, who – much like Associate Justice Clarence Thomas' accuser, Anita Hill, in 1991 – threatens to upend what looked to be a Supreme Court nominee's almost certain confirmation.

"The details about that night that bring me here today are ones that I will never forget," Ford said in prepared remarks. "They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult."
