National Archives Says Kavanaugh Doc Request Could Go On Through October
Good.
October of which year?
Grassley will invoke the Spicer Rule™ asserting that records from Kavanaugh’s time as associate and senior associate counsel to Bush, and as staff secretary “are none of the American public’s business, as they would have happened before his nomination.”
"Foy said “I expect the committee will be able to undertake its thorough review process along the same timeline set in previous Supreme Court confirmations.”
Grrrrrr. That would be ZERO, asshat. I demand that the hearings get EXACTLY the same timeline as the one set by the most recent SC confirmation.
Committee Republicans have accused Democrats of trying to drag out the process.
The shameless hypocrisy of these people is unbelievable.
Grassley is simply inking up the big rubber stamp. Let’s hope there is some way to stop this nomination; it is an election year, after all, right Leader McConnell?
“…the George W. Bush Presidential Library…”
Good. String it out. I don’t care if it “inspires” the traitors (Rs) to turn out in November. Get the skeletons out there. This guy has plenty,
I guess I’m agreeing with Grassley on this one: Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the first Monday in October, documents or, better, no documents.
Great! Please don’t rush it!
Seems like a good guy

Dems need to filibuster
force it to 60 votes
Guardians Of Pedophiles on the Senate Judiciary Committee: Grease, meet skids.
I believe we need to have some new rules for anointing Supreme Court Justices, beginning with one that states no one who, according to actuarial tables, may be involved if they are shown to have less than 40 years of their lifespan left.
McConnell changed the rules—there is no filibuster for SC nominees.
It’s payback time!
