Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s first day of Senate questioning got a nice and easy start, with a query from Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) about what makes a good judge.

I try to be a very collegial judge, I try to be civil,” Kavanaugh said.

He recalled the words of his mother, also a judge, and said he thinks of how his judicial opinions affect “real people in the real world.”
