They arrested the protestors one by one; I doubt they had enough Capitol Police to handle all of them, and I sure don’t know where they had room to put them all, especially considering that 300-400 people had been arrested on Thursday.
I don’t know if this will remain an entire gallery (depends how many pictures I decide to use), but am posting them in one place for the time being.

We went to a protest on Saturday at the US Capitol, just to see what was going on. A large group of people protesting the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Brett Kavanagh to the US Supreme Court had stormed the steps of the Capitol and stayed there until they were led away by the police one by one and arrested. We were in a large, very emotional crowd in front of them, taking pictures.
Regardless of whether one favors his confirmation or not, I believe this was a case of democracy in action.
