Controversial Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmed for U.S. Supreme Court by the U.S. Senate....Women's rights groups are dealt a blow

Judge Brett Kavanaugh (left) and President Donald Trump  WASHINGTON (AP) — The bitterly polarized U.S. Senate narrowly confirmed Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday to join the Supreme Court, delivering an election-season triumph to President Donald Trump that could swing the court rightward for a generation after a battle that rubbed raw the country's cultural, gender and political divides. The near party-line vote was 50-48, capping a fight that seized the national conversation after claims emerged that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted women three decades ago — which he emphatically denied.

WASHINGTON ( WJLA ) -- Organizers held a "March for Black Women" in D.C. Saturday as part of their continued efforts calling for a new social contract. "Black women, cis, trans, and diverse identities, allies and comrades will unite and lock arms, marching unapologetically with all others who want to pull the foot of oppression off our necks and foreground, " a press release for the march stated. "A new social contract is needed for all Black women, a new social contract that overturns the dominant political narratives of the past, and [that is] courageous enough in the present to pass along to our future generations." Black Women's Blueprint put on the event, with help from the DC Rape Crisis Center, Marsha P. Johnson Institute and the National Economic & Social Rights Initiative. The rally began at the National Mall at around 9 a.m. before a scheduled march through the city to Freedom Plaza. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT CHANNEL
