Demonstrators at the Supreme Court vigil called on senators to reject Kavanaugh's nomination not only due to the three sexual misconduct allegations against him, but also because of his judicial record on abortion and immigration rights.
Protesters throughout the night broke into chants of "vote him down!" and "believe survivors!" as activists associated with causes including disability and immigrant rights gave impassioned speeches.
