What? No congressional men were there?More than a dozen Democratic members of Congress were among those arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday afternoon as part of an abortion rights protest in front of the Supreme Court.
[...]
Within two minutes of their arriving, police began ordering them to “cease and desist.” Instead, they sat on the street, and were one by one led off by officers as they chanted, “The people, united, will never be divided.”
[...]
Capitol Police later said they had arrested 34 people total, including 16 members of Congress.
Among those arrested:
Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark of Massachusetts
