The confirmation hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's Supreme Court pick, has ended for the day.
The hearing will resume at 9:30 a.m. ET tomorrow. In case you missed it, here's everything you need to know:
The protesters: The hearing was interrupted by screaming protests from the public gallery. The Capitol Police said they made 70 arrests today for protests during the hearing and in other parts of Capitol Hill.
Democrats decry process: Senate Democrats staged an aggressive bid to slow Kavanaugh's confirmation. They accused the White House and the Republicans of hiding key details about Kavanaugh's time as a Bush-era White House lawyer by refusing to publicly release tens of thousands of documents. They also decried a dump of 42,000 documents on Monday night hours before the hearing.
