Lost in the mix, however, is some rather alarming news in the confirmation process for Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. According to a letter signed by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Senate Republicans are refusing to hand over documents pertaining to Kavanaugh — documents that could include damning evidence that’d surely kill the judge’s confirmation process before it even begins.
The senators’ letter to Chairman Chuck Grassley notes that the Republicans have only made available around three percent of documents covering Kavanaugh’s record. A full 98.4 percent of Kavanaugh’s record is being withheld. The senators noted that, by comparison, 99 percent of Elena Kagan’s record was made available to the committee prior to her confirmation process. Stating the obvious here: it looks like they’re hiding something. Duh.
And this might be the something. Kavanaugh might’ve lied under oath during his prior confirmation hearing in 2006. The senators wrote:
As you know, in 2006, Judge Kavanaugh told the Committee under oath that he was “not aware of any issues” regarding “the legal justifications or the policies relating to the treatment of detainees”; was “not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants”; had nothing to do with issues related to rendition; and was unaware of, and saw no documents related to, the warrantless wiretapping program conducted without congressional authorization.
