Chairman @ChuckGrassley: I’m not going to delay Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing. There’s no precedent for delaying a hearing in these circumstances. In fact, there’s clear precedent pointing the other way. #SCOTUS #KavanaughSCOTUS
"Indeed, President Clinton’s own records were under a grand jury subpoena. Yet the Senate confirmed Justice Breyer by a vote of 87-9 during all this." -Chairman @ChuckGrassley
"Liberal outside groups and Senate Democratic leaders decided to oppose the President’s Supreme Court nominee by any means necessary. Some even announced their opposition before Judge Kavanaugh was nominated. " -Chairman @ChuckGrassley
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: On a related note, we are working to make as many of the documents we receive publicly available as soon as possible.
“It’s common practice to receive documents as Committee Confidential until we can assure ourselves that we won’t disclose sensitive, confidential information to the public.” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley
"It’s regrettable that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have politicized this process so much, and have such short memories." -Chairman @ChuckGrassley
