Apparently the new for of anti-Trump protest is expecting his court nominees to answer questions from random people ripped from the pages of the Resistance talking points of the day:

So were people actually expecting Kavanaugh to stop and answer protester’s questions? Bernie Sanders’ former national Get Out the Vote digital director Melissa Byrne was hoping for some answers and is calling for that approach more in the future:
A few days ago, Judge Kavanaugh refused to chat about healthcare. Is this the future we want? #StopKavanaugh https://t.co/hiWL9TpWEr

Much more of conservative judges ignoring left-wing protesters shouting liberal talking points? Sounds OK to us.
Meanwhile, others think Kavanaugh strolling past the protesters and ignoring their questions should be enough to speed up the confirmation process:
OMG He literally ignored them??
Can we skip the hearings and just confirm this guy already? https://t.co/hVtssrc3rL

Planned Parenthood might be surprised to find out Kavanaugh has already been nominated.
