5/13/2023 0 Comments Good and mad by rebecca traisterOne day, during the Kavanaugh hearings, a few dozen women - plus some men! - flooded into the office of Chuck Grassley, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and started chanting and clapping: “Chuck Grassley! Come out! We’ve got some things to talk about!”īut this weekend, the view of the wrath - and the stakes that have it ratcheted it so high - got even clearer. Women sent 3,000 coat hangers to Senator Susan Collins anti-Kavanaugh messages have been projected onto the City Hall building in Portland, Maine. Those women were pulled roughly from the room, then replaced by others. Women had dressed demurely to get into Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, then leapt up and yelled: about life and death, health care, and abortion. September had brought handmaids to Washington, some standing silent sentinel in Senate office buildings. It’s not like women weren’t already aflame with fury. Activists outside the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Brett Kavanaugh.
