WATCH SENATE DEMOCRATS POUNCE: ‘We Cannot Possibly Move Forward’

Senate Democrats are fired up and fighting for Americans in Republicans’ historically secretive hearing to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Senate Republicans are holding his confirmation hearing today…

  1. In spite of Republicans releasing 42,000 records last night that could not possibly be reviewed before this morning’s hearing;
  2. Despite Republicans refusing to release 93% of Kavanaugh’s White House records;
  3. And in the face of the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to withhold 100,000 pages of documents under the guise of executive privilege.

Senate Democrats have had enough. Take a look:

Senator Harris stands up and demands to end this unfair hearing.   Senators Klobuchar and Blumenthal join to object to moving forward.

Senator Booker cuts to the chase: “What is the rush?”

Even the limited documents that Senate Republicans themselves requested have not all been turned over.

Senator Whitehouse doubles down: “The idea that any judge in the United States would go forward with a trial the day after a document dump like this is preposterous.”

Senator Leahy: “What are we trying to hide? Why are we rushing?”


Senator Coons: “We should not be proceeding until we have the full documents that allow us to review the judge’s records.”

 

Senator Feinstein: “Give us the time to do our work so that we can have a positive and comprehensive hearing on the man who may well be the deciding vote for many of America’s futures.”
