Woman faces serious charges for laughing during Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearing

‘A 61-year-old activist with women’s anti-war group Code Pink is standing trial in Washington, D.C., on charges that she attempted to “impede, disrupt and disturb the orderly conduct” of the confirmation hearing for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Capitol Police say Desiree Fairooz did so by laughing at a line spoken by Senator Richard Shelby in his introduction of Sessions.
Allegedly, Fairooz laughed at Shelby’s statement that Sessions had a record of “treating all Americans equally,” according to AL.com.
After laughing, Capitol Police officer Katherine Coronado approached Fairooz, asking, “Is that funny to you?” and placing her under arrest.’
