Group to project 'Kavanaugh is a sexual predator' onto Supreme Court
Group to project 'Kavanaugh is a sexual predator' onto Supreme Court
September 25, 2018
An activist group plans to project messages denouncing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh onto the building where he may serve a lifetime shaping the nation's laws.
On Tuesday night the anti-sexism group UltraViolet plans to project "Kavanaugh is a sexual predator and well documented liar," "He lied every time he testified," and "Kavanaugh must withdraw" onto the Supreme Court, according to PR firm Unbendable Media.
Unbendable Media partner Madison Donzis contacted the Washington Examiner on Tuesday afternoon and offered to provide details about the time an place of a protest targeting a "US government building on Capitol Hill."
In response to a request for more information, Donzis said "the messages will be projected onto the US Supreme Court building tonight at 7:30pm."
The Supreme Court is located near the Senate, where both Kavanaugh and sexual assault accuser Christine Blasey Ford will testify Thursday. Ford alleges Kavanaugh attempted to forcibly remove her clothes when he was 17.
A Yale University classmate, Deborah Ramirez, came forward Sunday as Kavanaugh's second named accuser, saying he thrust his penis in her face while in college, causing her to touch it without her consent.
Kavanaugh denies the allegations, but his nomination is imperiled by the claims. Democrats previously alleged that he lied under oath as a Bush administration official during the early 2000s, but the claims appeared unlikely to derail his nomination.

Protesters have been active throughout Kavanaugh's nomination, repeatedly interrupting his Senate Judiciary Committee testimony to advocate abortion rights. This week, activists visited the offices of senators to display opposition and volunteer for arrest.
Press is encouraged to meet at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation near the Supreme Court, "[a]fter which the activists will walk over to the Supreme Court building and do the projection."
Donzis requested that protest plans not be published beforehand, but provided details without an agreement to respect any embargo.
The U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki referred a question about the legality of projecting messages onto the Supreme Court to the court's public information office, which did not immediately respond.
On Sept. 4, UltraViolet tweeted images of a similar protest, during which the group projected onto the rear of the Supreme Court messages that together read, "Roe v. Wade is more popular than Brett Kavanaugh."
There's a ban on protests on the plaza immediately around the court, but broad leeway on adjacent sidewalks.
Other lawful projection-related protests have received significant recent attention in Washington. Last year artist Robin Bell projected the message "Pay Trump Bribes Here" onto Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Update:
At 8:35 p.m., Bell tweeted footage of anti-Kavanaugh messages being projected onto the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington, where Kavanaugh works as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
The federal courthouse, located at the foot of Capitol Hill, is less than one mile from the Supreme Court. It's unclear if UltraViolet and Bell still intend to project the messages onto the Supreme Court building.
