(4 Oct 2018) About 3000 demonstrators have gathered outside the Supreme Court to protest Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the United State's highest court. The protesters include a loud contingent from Maine, and they're calling on Susan Collins, a key Republican senator from that state, to vote against Kavanaugh. Collins said Thursday that the FBI appears to have conducted a "very thorough investigation" of the sexual misconduct claims against Kavanaugh. Alaskan Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, told reporters Thursday she has not yet "had an opportunity to go through" the review herself, so she said she "can't comment on whether or not... it's entirely thorough." Two speakers who identified as survivors of sexual abuse from Alaska also addressed during the protest, urging Murkowski to vote against confirming Kavanaugh. A procedural vote on Kavanaugh's nomination is set for Friday. He denies the allegations.
