Day two of Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate hearings are triggering people around the country.
Not only are protesters being arrested for civil disobedience, but even twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has decided to get in on the action.
What’s Hillary’s gripe at the moment?
She believes Kavanaugh “will help gut or overturn Roe v. Wade.”
Check out Clinton’s rant…
If Brett Kavanaugh becomes a Supreme Court justice, will he help gut or overturn Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in America? Yes, of course he will.

A few weeks before Kavanaugh's name appeared on President Trump's short list for a new justice, Kavanaugh praised the dissent in the Roe v. Wade case and called former Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist his “hero,” noting that “he clearly wanted to overrule Roe.”

As a federal judge, Kavanaugh tried to prevent a young undocumented woman in government custody from exercising her right to an abortion.

Kavanaugh ruled to let CEOs decide to deny their employees insurance coverage for no co-pay birth control.

Anti-abortion groups have endorsed Kavanaugh, considering him a reliable vote to overturn Roe. His confirmation would be a victory for activists who want to end a woman's right to make her own health decisions.

It's remarkable that we have to keep repeating this, even in 2018: Women's rights are human rights, and human rights are women's rights.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 5, 2018
One of the most fundamental human rights is the right to make the most personal decisions about one's own body. To deny women that is to rob them of the ability to decide their own futures.

People then spoke up and reminded Hillary that she’d be nominating a man or woman to the Supreme Court right now if she defeated Donald Trump in 2016.
Wisconsin is lovely this time of year. https://t.co/UWqqq2aciY

You should have thought about this before deciding to ignore Wisconsin. Elections have consequences. https://t.co/DpJB1G6x8O

I bet he can find Wisconsin on a map, though.

You couldn’t be bothered to go to Wisconsin and I’m supposed to bail you out?

As she tweets this, Kavanaugh explains that one of the most important things for SCOTUS judge is "precedent," decisions that have been made before him.
These are dishonest scare tactics, nothing more. https://t.co/UGy2RHtiC5

Kavanaugh has stated that he will not look to help overturn Roe v. Wade, citing precedent.
From Fox News:
Senate Democrats grilled Judge Brett Kavanaugh on abortion, guns and other issues Wednesday, getting down to substance after an opening day of partisan fireworks — even as protesters continued to disrupt his confirmation hearing.
[…]
Feinstein pressed Kavanaugh over the Roe v. Wade court decision regarding abortion.
“Well, as a general proposition, I understand the importance of the precedent set forth in Roe versus Wade,” he said.
Liberals need not fret. Abortion isn’t going anywhere.
The thing is, Hillary knows how to pander to her crowd and she won’t stop – ever.
