Demonstrators Protest Against Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch

HeadlineApr 03, 2017

Demonstrators gathered in cities nationwide Saturday to protest against Trump’s Supreme Court justice nominee Neil Gorsuch. This is Candace Bond-Theriault of the National LGBTQ Task Force, speaking at a protest outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.

Candace Bond-Theriault: “And we are here to show that we object and we resist. We know that Judge Gorsuch has ruled terribly for women’s reproductive rights and the rights of all people who can become pregnant, including trans folks and gender-nonconforming folks who can also become pregnant.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote today on Gorsuch’s nomination, which is expected to be taken up by the full Senate on Friday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed Democrats will filibuster the vote.
