President Trump announced Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his pick for the Supreme Court on Monday night, and hundreds of protesters quickly mobilized.

The protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court, and began chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, Kavanaugh has got to go!" Some demonstrators said they don't want to see the court lean too much to one side, and activist Kevin Camps told USA Today he's worried that a more conservative court will undermine environmental protections. "This is a huge moment for our country," he said. "What's impossible to exaggerate is that this is the final word on most issues in this country."
