Protesters took to the streets of Washington, DC, on Thursday, October 15, for the fourth and final day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. The Washington Post said Senate Republicans think Barrett will “forge a new and prominent path as a conservative, religious woman who opposes abortion.” This footage, filmed by Alison Turkos, shows protesters marching through Washington and stopping for a dance party in the streets. Barrett’s nomination, following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, sparked controversy due to the proximity of the presidential election on November 3. A vote on Barrett’s nomination has been scheduled for October 22, according to reports. Credit: Alison Turkos via Storyful
