Protesters gathered in the nation's captail on July 9 shortly after the announcement that Trump had picked federal appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the US Supreme Court.

The video, filmed at around 9:15 pm by Jeni Sands, shows the scene outside the building. Protesters can be seen holding up signs advocating Planned Parenthood and the pro-choice movement.

Kavanaugh, known for his anti-abortion stance, triggered reactions among protesters and reproductive rights organizations. Last year, the conservative judge was criticised for ruling against an undocumented teenager in a detention facility who had petitioned for the right to access an abortion. His nomination draws into question the future of abortion laws in the country.

He is set to replace former judge Anthony Kennedy, who announced his retirement in June.
