[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kavanaugh will be confirmed despite all of the Democrat's attempts to derail the nomination.

Manchin and Heidi H have or will be meeting with him despite the general boycott by Democratic senators. I expect there will be at least 55 votes in favor.[/quote]

How is reviewing policy documents penned by Kavanaugh derailing the nomination? This is a lifetime appointment and deserves proper diligence.[/quote]

They are asking for much more than simply what Kavanaugh has “penned.”  They want access to documents when he served as staff secretary.  Most of these documents, he did not write, but just passed to the president.

[quote]Everything about this upcoming Supreme Court nomination is hyper-politicized. It's happening in an election year, support for Brett M. Kavanaugh is falling largely along party lines, and it could firm up the court's 5-4 conservative majority in a way that has liberals worried they'll lose future fights over health care and abortion.

Viewed that way, it would be natural to see Senate Democrats' long-shot effort to extract documents from all of Kavanaugh's time as a top aide for George W. Bush as a politically driven effort to slow down his confirmation or a frantic reach for something — anything — that could throw a wrench in it.

They're asking for documents from Kavanaugh's time as Bush's staff secretary, a high-level position that made this Supreme Court nominee a human email inbox for the president, putting him in possession of nearly every document that reached the Oval Office from 2003-2006.

Republicans, who are in control of the process of requesting Kavanaugh's documents from the National Archives, have declined to delve that deep. They're looking at documents from Kavanaugh's time in the legal office of the White House from 2001-2003 but not his time as staff secretary.

Now Senate Democrats are going so far as to accuse them of hiding something in Kavanaugh's past.[/quote]
