What it looks like inside Brett Kavanaugh's raucous confirmation hearing, filled with loud protesters and testy senators by John Haltiwanger on Sep 4, 2018, 4:18 PM Advertisement
 Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing got off to a rocky start on Tuesday. Before the Senate Judiciary Committee proceedings even began, a group of women wearing costumes in the style of the hit TV show "The Handmaid's Tale" silently protested outside of the hearing room. Their demonstration was to highlight their concerns over Kavanaugh's stance on abortion rights and Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal nationwide. Dozens of protesters were also present inside the hearing and made their opposition to Kavanaugh's nomination quite clear, shouting over Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley as he attempted to get the ball rolling.

Kavanaugh's judicial record suggests he opposes Roe v. Wade, which has been a point of concern for many since President Donald Trump nominated him for the Supreme Court in July. 
The hearing had barely begun when protesters began shouting for Senators to oppose Kavanaugh's nomination.
