Protesters Call for Kavanaugh’s Removal One Year After His Confirmation to SCOTUS

HeadlineOct 07, 2019

In Washington, D.C., women’s rights activists rallied outside the Supreme Court Sunday to call for Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s removal from the bench, one year after Republican senators narrowly confirmed him to the Supreme Court despite multiple credible accusations of attempted rape and sexual assault. Congressmember Ayanna Pressley introduced a resolution last month to impeach Justice Kavanaugh. She told the crowd she believed Kavanaugh’s accusers — and Anita Hill, who told Congress in 1991 that Justice Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley: “I still believe Anita Hill. I still believe Dr. Christine Ford. And I believe Deborah Ramirez.”
