Their frustration with this nomination process, they want to make sure that brett kavanaugh, who they believe was in there being sworn in at the time the protest was happening, actually heard their protests. they also chanted we believe survivors, as that swearing-in was going on. the other theme for the day, and what protesters have been chanting, weve heard it on the senate floor as well is that, remember in november. they want to take the anger that they have here and turn it into votes on no...

Judicial temperament. we had a former court justice saying it was not judicial temperament. but others are saying its what saved his skin and saved his nomination process. the president woarcht to this -- the president went to this rally in mississippi where he dared to confront the accusers testimony. it was disparaged wide lid among democrats and republicans in washington. but among the republican base it was taken with open arms. we saw contributions to the rnc go up by 1,000 percent. we saw ...

They were angry, were disappointed, who acknowledged they arent very happy with one another right now. its a question i asked mcconnell. he said the country has been through worst times and the country will move through this and the senate as well. is this a rock-bottom moment, a moment where people take a step back and figure cooling down may be the better option? right now it seems unlikely. one senior gop aide i talked to yesterday said just bluntly, its only going to get worse from here. not...

Much of the day moved up onto the steps and then right to the doors of the supreme court itself. they were pounding on the doors. about 12 members of the supreme court police formed a wall along that door keeping the protesters from getting to the doors. the point, they say, is that their frustration with this nomination process, they want to make sure that brett kavanaugh, who they believe was in there being sworn in at the time the protest was happening, actually heard their protest. they also...
