Activism Stopped Kavanagh from being Easily Confirmed

It was the women who confronted Senator Flake and the many others that stalled the Kavanagh confirmation process. In particular, it was the courageous women that came forward and accused Kavanagh who have stopped the GOP in its tracks:

A coalition of groups opposing Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination urged protesters to travel from throughout the U.S. to disrupt his Senate confirmation hearings this week, escalating the tension over President Donald Trump's pick for the high court.

Capitol police arrested 70 people for outbursts and disruptions during Kavanaugh's hearing Tuesday – and the protests continued during his testimony Wednesday.

The protests were so frequent at times that the hearings have assumed a decidedly halting cadence as Republican senators expressed frustration at the interruptions. On Wednesday, police temporarily closed off the hearing from additional spectators at one point, leaving some seats empty.
