Demonstrators Rally on Capitol Hill as Amy Coney Barrett Nomination Hearings Continue

Demonstrators supporting and opposing Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett gathered on Capitol Hill in Washington as her confirmation hearings continued on October 13.

Video uploaded by the National Women’s Law Center shows a line of people marching, chanting “Whose court? Our court,” with some holding placards that read “No confirmation before inauguration.”

The NWLC said “we are marching from the Capitol to the Supreme Court to remind senators of what is important: the hundreds of thousands of lives lost to the pandemic, and how they must act for the people – not partisan political interests.”
