  1. “It’s time for the American people to hear directly from Judge Kavanaugh at his public hearing,” Grassley said.

    Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland could not be reached for comment.

  3. So in all of the discussion on Rachel et al regarding the hearings, no one has actually answered the question of whether the Democrats request for documents can be simply ignored? Do they have any recourse? And, if this is the case, I see absolutely no reason for this “Justice” not to be impeached when the Democrats control the Senate for the very good reason that requests for documents pertaining to his fitness were not honored.

    Not to mention the fact that the Kavanaugh people have still not addressed the issue of his lying under oath in 2006 for a lower judgeship.

  5. The GOP needs to steal another Supreme Court seat.
