A throng of protesters pushed past a police line, storming up steps to pound on the doors of the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday after the Senate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.

"Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Kavanaugh has got to go," the protesters chanted as they flooded the steps of the court, many with fists raised in the air, others with arms linked.

Police eventually were able to form a line between the door and the group of protesters and later shepherded them back down the steps before erecting a barricade.

The protest at the Supreme Court came shortly after Vice President Mike Pence walked down the steps of the U.S. Senate to chants of "shame" after the vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

Droves of protesters pressed up against metal barricades outside the Capitol Building to shout at Pence, who was forced to face their chants as he left.

The vote itself, which ultimately confirmed the embattled judge who faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, was periodically interrupted with the shouts of protesters in the gallery. Pence called on the sergeant-at-arms a number of times to restore order during the vote.

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona was called a coward by one protester. When Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia cast his "yes" vote, a woman's voice could be heard shouting, "We won’t forget." Other protesters shouted "I do not consent" and "shame" as the votes were called.

Kavanaugh was confirmed 50-48 on the Senate floor. Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana was absent for the vote due to his daughter's wedding, prompting Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska to vote "present" as part of a practice called a "pair between senators." Murkowski opposed Kavanaugh, but withdrew her vote as part of the practice, which keeps voting margins the same, indifferent of Daines' absence.

Following Kavanaugh's confirmation, protesters began singing, "We Shall Not Be Moved," an African-American spiritual, outside the capitol.

Around 6 p.m. on Saturday, Kavanaugh was sworn in as the 114th Supreme Court justice in private ceremony.

Earlier in the day, protester Alethea Shapiro traveled from Long Island, New York, to Washington, D.C., for the second weekend in a row to protest Kavanaugh.

Hours ahead of the Senate's vote, Shapiro joined the hundreds of women and men protesting on Capitol Hill.

"I’m really very worried about women’s reproductive right," Shapiro said, as chants decrying Kavanaugh echoed around her. She added before the Senate vote that Kavanaugh's impending confirmation made her sad, "but I'm really hopeful because I feel like this is a revolution. People won't understand the power and passion unless you’re here."

Across the Capitol, women held signs condemning Kavanaugh, who has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in the weeks leading up to the confirmation vote. Kavanaugh staunchly denied all allegations against him.
