Protesters on Capitol Hill and across the country have erupted in outrage that the path is now clear to confirming Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
On Friday, after Republicans secured the votes needed to confirm Kavanaugh on Saturday, protesters angrily harassed senators and staged massive demonstrations.
The fever pitch of the protests led conservative pundit Sean Hannity to call for Congressional office buildings, which are normally open to the public on weekdays, to be placed on lockdown.
'I really believe the people should be close to their elected representatives, and it’s sad what I’m about to say: Before somebody gets hurt or worse, these office areas of elected officials now need to be closed to the public,' Hannity said on his Fox News program on Friday night. 'This is now dangerous and out-of-control.'

After Republican Senator Susan Collins from Maine announced her decision to cast the deciding vote for Kavanaugh, she was rushed from the Senate floor by Capitol Police to a waiting vehicle.
The Women's March responded by calling Collins a 'rape apologist' in a tweet.
Donations also poured into a fundraising page set up to collect campaign donations for a future opponent to unseat Collins, whose term ends in 2020.
The donation page had collected $2.8million in pledges on Friday night, with the donations to be triggered if Collins casts her vote for Kavanaugh on Saturday as she says she will.
'If you fail to stand up for the people of Maine and for Americans across the country, every dollar donated to this campaign will go to your eventual Democratic opponent in 2020. We will get you out of office,' the fundraiser's organizers wrote.
Minutes after Collins' speech, protesters mobbed Democrat Senator Joe Manchin from West Virgina, screaming 'shame, shame, shame' as he told reporters that he also planned to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

Outside of the Senate office building, protesters were waiting to mob South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, who offered a fiery defense of Kavnaugh during last week's blockbuster Judiciary Committee hearing.
'You old, white privileged patriarchy!' a female protester screamed as Graham walked to his car flanked by Capitol Police, video shot by the Daily Caller shows.
'Yeah, please move to South Carolina,' Graham retorted with a smile as the protester threatened to vote him 'out of office'.
'I hope you come, you'd be welcome in South Carolina,' Graham continued, adjusting the knot of his tie jauntily.
'He lied under oath!' the woman shouted as Graham got into a waiting car and drove away.

Inside the Senate offices, protesters gathered outside of the office of Arizona Republican Jeff Flake, chanting angrily.
Outside of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's Washington DC home, protesters gathered to hold a 'confirmation kegger'.
The protesters said their goal was to show McConnell how much the Kavanaugh nomination has damaged the Supreme Court in the minds of the Americans as the GOP leader prepares to hold a final Senate confirmation vote on Saturday.
In a last-ditch effort to block Kavanaugh's lifetime appointment, hundreds of women and their allies have descended on Washington, DC, on Friday for a second-straight day of protests.
Kegger organizer Jennifer Flynn Walker said the protest was designed to reflect the absurdity of Kavanaugh's Judiciary Committee testimony last week, particularly his repeated mentions of liking beer.
'We're not even talking about the serious issues,' Walker, director of mobilization and advocacy at the Center for Popular Democracy, told HuffPost.

'That's the thing about this protest today ― this is just ridiculous at this point. Half of the country is actually deeply hurt.'
Walker explained that while the protest was designed as a joke, it was based on serious fears that Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, would cause lasting damage if he is appointed to the Supreme Court.
'Essentially, we just think he's a frat boy,' she said.
One hour before the cloture vote Friday morning President Donald Trump slammed protesters, making the claim that billionaire liberal activist George Soros is among those funding the demonstrations against the judge.
In a tweet denouncing the protests, the president specifically mentioned 'elevator screamers' - an apparent reference to the two women who confronted Senator Jeff Flake on Friday to tell him about their sexual assault experiences.
'The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don't fall for it! Also, look at all of the professionally made identical signs. Paid for by Soros and others. These are not signs made in the basement from love!' Trump wrote.

Incredible to me how belligerent and childish the Left can be when they don't get their way.

Maybe some of the redneck Harley groups should show up and straighten things out.

While I applaud Collins for making the correct decision based on the evidence, why did she have to make spectacle out of it?

Like our resident low IQ liberal, no matter what the facts are, you blindly follow what you are told.

I don't believe Dr Ford was never assaulted be anyone. It is fiction. She has lived her life with this belief and convinced herself that it happened. A variation of Munchausen syndrome.


Her voice is so childish. It really grates.


As Collins said


The four witnesses she named could not corroborate any of the events of that evening gathering where she says the assault occurred; none of the individuals Professor Ford says were at the party has any recollection at all of that night.


Mark Judge denied under penalty of felony that he had witnessed an assault.

PJ Smyth, another person allegedly at the party, denied that he was there under penalty of felony.


Professor Ford’s lifelong friend Leland Keyser indicated that, under penalty of felony, she does not remember that party.


And Ms. Keyser went further. She indicated that not only does she not remember a night like that, but also that she does not even know Brett Kavanaugh.



In addition to the lack of corroborating evidence, we also learned some facts that raised more questions. For instance, since these allegations have become public, Professor Ford testified that not a single person has contacted her to say, “I was at the party that night.”

Furthermore, the professor testified that although she does not remember how she got home that evening, she knew that, because of the distance, she would have needed a ride – yet not a single person has come forward to say that they were the one that drove her home or were in the car with her that night. And Professor Ford also indicated that even though she left that small gathering of six or so people abruptly and without saying goodbye and distraught, none of them called her the next day – or ever – to ask why she left – is she okay – not even her closest friend, Ms. Keyser.
