#SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh says the White House first called him hours after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he was stepping down. That and more in Kavanaugh's newly released Senate questionnaire buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Kavanaugh membership as an undergrad in Yale's Truth and Courage Society isn't listed in his Senate questionnaire, which only asks for memberships since he started law school (it was in his DC Circuit questionnaire). Previously from @mollyhc on this: buzzfeednews.com/article/mollyh…
@mollyhc Since becoming a judge in 2006, Kavanaugh's newer memberships included coaching youth basketball teams, volunteering with Catholic Charities, and joining the John Carroll Society (for Catholic professionals) and the Lawyers Club of Washington

Here's the section that highlights a big sticking point for Democrats — they want access to Bush-era records about Kavanaugh's time in the White House, Republicans have pushed back on how much should be sought/released
The questionnaire asked Kavanaugh to list the 10 "most significant cases" he had handled. The first nine cases involved a position he took that was later adopted by #SCOTUS. He included the tenth case "because of what it says about anti-discrimination law and American history"
