Protesters flooded the Senate building during 'Cancel Kavanaugh' march
Thousands of demonstrators marched on Thursday to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, traveling from the Washington, D.C., courthouse where Kavanaugh works as a federal appeals court judge, to the Supreme Court building.
The "#CancelKavanaugh" march was dotted with prominent figures like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and comedian Amy Schumer.
