They'll have plenty time to review whatever they want after he's confirmed, it's going to happen no matter what they see, say or do.

Screw em, they've been given enough info to vote no since that's all they're going to do anyway.
We the people are the ones being denied the truths in those documents that the GOP is trying to suppress from us.

Sadly, that's all it is, regardless of the nominee.

Republican Thom Tillis just finished talking about how he was honored to be in Kavanaugh's presence and that he would be voting to confirm him because he's a good judge who will "call balls and strikes."

Tillis also said he would be asking Kavanaugh some questions later about his decisions. Why bother asking questions about legal minutiae when you've already announced your vote? Dogs and ponies.

I'm stating that the Senate Dems should take expert advice. The ABA has Kavanaugh categorized as WQ: "Well Qualified," their highest rating.

ABA rating as of 08/31/2018:

I agree. All members of the Committee are on record as whether the will vote yea or nay already. Why are these hearings necessary?

They don't have to be in public. They would be a lot shorter if behind closed doors. This crap show is just so the moonbat Democrats can bash a man about to be confirmed for a job they could never even qualify for.

Kamala Harris yapping about releasing documents so the "American people can see". For what? The don't get a vote. Only the ELECTED SENATE has a say in this.
