WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing in the Senate this week was frequently disrupted as protesters were removed from the hearing room by police, with more than 200 people arrested.

[...]

Sarsour said the arrests during the hearing showed the “level of dissent” over Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh, a conservative judge, for a lifetime Supreme Court seat.

The activists were trained in nonviolent civil disobedience and got legal support. “We are not engaging in some sort of charade; we believe this is a matter of life and death,” Sarsour said.

The pro-abortion activists are well funded, thanks to $500 million in federal government funding each year.  Money given to Planned Parenthood ends up in the pockets of these astroturf activists.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Anti-Semite Sarsour will be a good person for pro-Trump candidates ads this year or 2020. She reveals the real bigoted face of the modern Dem Party.

She should be mentioned more as she is the antithesis of what leftists claim to be for.
