I was in the Senate gallery this afternoon when Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed. You would have thought I was at an exorcism in an insane asylum.
Perhaps you were watching on television and heard the disruptions, though you certainly didn’t see them. The attenuated audio probably didn’t catch the frightening, incoherent shrieking – including the lingering screaming and howling as they were being dragged down the hallways outside the gallery.
If there was any doubt that the opposition to Kavanaugh was unhinged, uncivil, disruptive, rude, and borderline nuts, my experience in the gallery made it clear.
The first example came when Senator Cornyn rightfully railed against the mobs who spent the last three weeks assaulting and assailing Kavanaugh supporters.
“Mob rule is necessary,” one shrieking woman shouted before security personnel could settle her down.
At least she was honest. It did not appear that Capitol Police removed her for her crime, unfortunately. That would soon change.
Another crazed woman later screamed, “I will not consent, I will not consent, I will not consent, I will not consent." She was like a feminist automaton: “I will not consent, I will not consent.” Capitol Police were less forgiving and dragged her out the doors and down the hallway.
I have visited hospitals for the seriously mentally ill, and the shrieks from this woman were as odd and unearthly as anything I ever heard inside a mental hospital. They echoed off the halls and ceilings outside the gallery in decreasing but astonishing amplitude.
Then the roll was called, and it sounded like the gates of hell opened up.
Nearly a dozen women erupted in unison, shouting, howling, screaming, in an unrecognizable venomous wail. They wouldn’t stop. There was fury, rage, hate, poison in the noise.

I’ve heard the same caterwauling in the alzheimer wing of nursing homes. Difference is I have compassion for those people.
“You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. VOTE REPUBLICAN!”
This is also compulsion driven, in many cases; and discredits the reasoning process of those who get hysterical when they do not get their way!
Shrieks of the demon-possessed

‘They had to keep dumping out of the audio as obscenities flew.’
all because it was merely hinted to them that Kavavnaugh might, just might, in some way threaten their sacred right to slay their children...
Ford and her minions are mentally ill.
“How could anyone see / hear this and doubt that these people would readily imprison and kill us given the chance?”
I, however, have no doubts whatsoever. It isn’t just hearing what the Weather Underground (specifically, Ayers) said about killing 25 million people (50 years ago - it’d be much more today as a percent of the population), nor just reading about the history of Communism. No, for me it is much more real: my great grandfather was beaten to death by the Communists, for whom stealing everything that he worked for over the course of decades wasn’t enough. I KNOW these people...and that is why I am armed, because while I may not be able to prevent it from happening to myself or my family, I absolutely CAN make certain that it won’t be for free.
IIRC, every person in that gallery has to have a pass from a SENATOR to be there. Confiscate all those passes & make sure there are restrictions on such passes for those Senators for life.
