“Two weeks from today, Judge Brett Kavanaugh will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee for the first day of his confirmation hearing. I’m excited to finally hear from him.” – Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
“The only thing I keep hearing about is their unprecedented demand for millions and millions of pages of irrelevant documents—on top of the hundreds of thousands of pages we’ve already received.” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: We know the true reason for their unprecedented document demand: to delay Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation until after the midterm elections, when the Senate Democrats hope to win back the Senate and block Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination forever. #SCOTUS
"This desire to obstruct the process explains their partisan push to bury the Senate Judiciary Committee in a mountain of irrelevant paperwork.
They also want to divert attention from Judge Kavanaugh’s impressive record." -Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS
.@ChuckGrassley: Democratic leaders know that Judge Kavanaugh is the exact type of justice the American people want. Judge Kavanaugh has served for 12 years on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. During that time, he authored more than 300 opinions and joined hundreds more.
We now have a total of more than 430,000 pages from Judge Kavanaugh’s time in the executive branch—by far the most ever received for a Supreme Court nominee.
“In contrast to Judge Kavanaugh’s 12-year judicial track record, the 307 opinions he wrote, and the hundreds more he joined, Justice Kagan wrote or joined zero opinions.” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: I’d like to add that all documents we have received—including Committee Confidential—are at this very moment available to every member of the Senate. #SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
“I hope that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle put aside politics and reconsider their reckless demands.” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
