Amy Schumer Among Dozens Arrested At Kav Protest

USA Today reports:

Amy Schumer had a hunch she would get arrested protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in Washington. She was right.

The comedian, 37, was among dozens of demonstrators detained in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill Thursday. Earlier in the day, Schumer attended the #CANCELKAVANAUGH protest outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse.

Did they actually break a law? Saying you want to be arrested does that mean you will get arrested?

Trump has already come out and said he thinks protesting should be illegal. I wonder how quickly they are ramping up their game.

Wish I were there! RESIST!!!!!
CALL THE SENATORS!!!! NOW!
Have YOU called any senators yet?
If you did, THANK YOU!!!!

If you didn't, then JUST DO IT! Pleeeeeeeeease!

Call the Senate NOW! This means men too!
87% of the calls have been made by women...why is this considered a woman's issue? It is a human rights issue!
Call the Senate Judiciary Comm this week...

https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members
Call them and tell them that they will NOT get reelected by the majority of the US who is against Kavanaugh.
Call all senators and tell them that they are HYPOCRITES and you only vote for reps who have morals and values and who respect women. RESISTANCE WORKS!
Senate DC directory
(202)224-3121

Call the 8 "iffy" Dem and GOP senators too.
