Chairman @ChuckGrassley speaks about the thorough and expansive process for review Judge Kavanaugh's nomination. #Spscp.tv/w/bkx9xTF4blFy…
“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
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: The other side has apparently found very little in his record that’s objectionable #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. Image
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: We received documents from two out of the three executive branch positions Justice Kagan held. #SCOTUS #KavanaughSCOTUS
“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

As the world witnesses Russia's bloody invasion of Ukraine intensify, Pres. Biden's Friday #SCOTUS announcement is peculiar timing.

Why is @POTUS more interested in sticking to his self imposed timeline than focusing on the crisis at hand in Ukraine?
Just check out the top headlines in the @nytimes:
And in the @USATODAY:

.@ChuckGrassley: “The judgments of a justice can affect the lives of every American in perpetuity. It’s critical that any such nominee, including Judge Jackson, receive the most thorough and rigorous vetting.”
.@ChuckGrassley: “Our review will be as fair and respectful as it is complete and comprehensive. That is what this process demands and what the American people expect.”
.@ChuckGrassley: “Justices must have an unwavering commitment to the Constitution—including its limitations on the power of the courts. A justice must also be an unfailing defender of the institution of the court, as Justice Breyer has been.”

.@StopPredators: "Stop Child Predators applauds Chairman Graham’s efforts to protect against dangerous criminal activity, which often includes putting vulnerable children at great risk, while at the same time respecting civil liberties..."
