FULL TITLE: Protests erupt in response to Trump's SCOTUS pick: At least seven are arrested in New York while Fox News host MOVES her live broadcast in DC because she felt 'threatened' by 'volatile' demonstrators
Seven people, including a city council member, have been arrested for civil disobedience during protests Monday night over President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Following the president's announcement, dozens of people gathered at Trump Tower in Midtown to express concerns that the nominee will set the country back decades.
The protest began peacefully with people marching along the sidewalk chanting 'Hey hey ho ho, Trump's nominee has got to go!'
Things took a turn when a group of protesters sat down in the middle of Fifth Avenue, blocking heavy traffic near the corner of 57th Street.
The NYPD came through and arrested the protesters without incident - among them City Councilman Jumaane Williams.

Womp womp
“Civil disobedience,” my @ss. This is blatant offensive lawbreaking.
Civil disobedience is INactivity against government mandates to act.
I don’t think the media grasps that in America:
We hold elections
People vote
Some folks win office, some don’t
elected politicians make motions
elected politicians debate
elected politicians cast votes
some folks win and some folks don’t
This whole “take it to the streets and terrorize people with mob violence” is ... how you say? ... not really normal in this country.
The problem isn’t the President who carries out his campaign promises. The problem is the brownshirts who want to smash windows and hurt people.
“City Councilman Jumaane Williams”, Amish?
What Civil War?
“Councilman Jumaane Williams”
No picture needed
Keep it up, lefties. The #walkaway movement just keeps growing.
Obama and his so called community organizer pals plus the punks Soros pays and buses to demonstrate are the real thugs. Working people do not have time to demonstrate. We know who they are.
Nice and generic.
They could practice before the pick even happened, all primed and ready to go.
I am pleased when law enforcement enforces the laws when these protesters are out in the streets, very dangerous.
Can we start a betting pool on FR?
The first thing I’ll take action on is how long before Glooooria Allred shows up with a former female clerk and a #MeTo moment. I am saying one week, tops.
Just knowing how miserable their lives are day in and day out as they lose over and over and over again makes me so very happy. :)
...and those on the fence see this behavior and have an option now. They can...
Now that the last swing vote retired this concept is horrible and frightening.
Do you suppose it mattered in the least WHO was actually nominated?
It has become hardly just 9 people, these BASTARDS have infiltratrated damned near ALL of our courts!!! These damned judges on the 9th circus have overturned damned near everything the people in CA. have overwhelmingly voted for!!! OUR votes mean NOTHING any longer due to the Dems legislating from the benches across the country!!!! To hell with the legislative branches they took the easy way of FLOODING the courts!!!
Roberts will step into that swing vote position. I actually think the Supremes decide that between themselves. When Sandra Day O Conner retired Kennedy stepped into the position.i think its planned
Arrested but how fast did Soros’ attorneys pay their bail? These freaks need to spend some serious time in jail. Enough with the wrist slaps.
Idiots. Children who were never taught to behave.
They should be ignored. Why? Because Donald Trump is still POTUS and Brett Kavanaugh will be comfirmed to SCOTUS. Their gyrations and yelling and screaming won't change a thing. Ignore them and concentrate on the important stuff. They will soon tire when they have no audience and realize they can't make a difference.
