About 300 demonstrators gathered outside the Massachusetts State House on Friday night to protest the anticipated confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in the wake of allegations of sexual assault and his angry denials at last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.

Screaming chants like “Down with Kavanaugh, you are not above the law,’’ the protesters marched from Beacon Hill through the city around 8 p.m., gathering in front of the Edward W. Brooke courthouse.

Sexual assault survivors addressed the crowd, saying the confirmation would send the wrong message to victims of sexual violence.
