Some 200 protesters march across the lawn of the U.S. Capitol to the foot of the south wing. Inside, the U.S. Senate is wrapping up its debate, hours before the Saturday afternoon vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Members of the crowd rush up the steps, unfurl professionally printed banners, stand defiantly, and pump their fists in the air.
Whose house? they shout.
Our house! they answer.
By the time of the vote, theyve moved across the street to the Supreme Court building. After getting word of the vote, again they rush the steps. Two women climb the statues flanking the stepsContemplation of Justice and Authority of Lawfor more fist-pumps.
On the steps, Bob Bland, a co-founder of the Womens March, silently sends a thumbs-up signal to another leader, later boasting: We took the Supreme Court. On Friday the Womens March had tweeted out a photo of Sen. Susan Collins, who cast the deciding vote for Justice Kavanaugh, with Rape Apologist written across her image.
In a series of tweets and rally comments, President Trump described the crowd as an angry left-wing mob of professional protesters who are handed expensive signs and paid for by [George] Soros and others. Mr. Trumps detractors accused him of engaging in conspiracy theories, and even of anti-Semitism against Mr. Soros, a billionaire donor to liberal causes. Yet he has a point. Many Americans genuinely oppose Mr. Trump and Justice Kavanaugh. I am a liberal feminist whose views on abortion and same-sex marriage align with the Democratic Partys. Yet while most demonstrators are not paid for their efforts, the protests at the Capitol Saturday, and the ones that have included stalking lawmakers inside and outside their offices, are organized by groups of which Mr. Soros is an important patron.

I believe that’s exactly why they are weeping and wailing about “collusion”.
What if POTUS and Putin decided to collude on that matter?
I believe the left are really afraid of that but of course they can’t admit it....
On Saturday I also studied the fine print on the signs as protesters waved them defiantly at the Capitol and the high court. They came from a familiar list of Democratic interest groups that have received millions from Mr. Soros: the American Civil Liberties Union, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Center for Popular Democracy, Human Rights Campaign and on and on. MoveOn.org, a Democratic organizing and lobbying group founded with Soros money, sent its army of partisan followers regular missives that led them to a Google form to ask for train tickets and places to stay.
Under a ginkgo tree on the East Lawn of the Capitol, Center for Popular Democracy field marshals put protesters through a training Saturday morning. Are you ready to be arrested? she asks. Yes! the crowd shouts, although one woman asks quietly: For what?
If not, the field marshal orders, stand in line for the visitors gallery so an experienced protester can go inside and yell. One organizer hands out tickets to the Senate visitors gallery for the express purpose of violating the law. That they didthe proceedings were repeatedly interrupted by shrieks from the gallery.
