The Dems held George W. Bush's nomination of Kavanaugh in limbo for three years until 2006, during which time they had every opportunity to request his White House Counsel records.

Wednesday I called Schumer's office, and spoke to one of the girls in his office. I live in NY State. I asked her, if the Democrats weren't interested in Kavanaugh's White House records when he was being considered for a Judgeship, especially in light of the fact that he had never sat as a Judge before, why were they interested in stuff from that far back now. After all, they already have access to all his decisions as a Judge to refer to.

Yesterday I called Grassley's office and reiterated the same thing. I don't know if the Dems ever requested his White House records at the time he was nominated by Bush, but the morons had three years to do so, and I doubt that they did.

Well, it's cryin' time again
We're gonna boo-hoo
You can tell by all that water in our eyes
When we lose this vote
We'll all just scream "Oh no!"
Then to our Court we'll sadly say "Bye-bye."

Democrats want the National Archives to release documents and emails from Kavanaugh’s time as ***staff secretary***,

” Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a letter late last week on behalf of the panel only requesting documents from Kavanaugh’s time as a ***White House counsel***.”

Yep...This is plainly a delay tactic, his 300 plus decisions are really all that’s needed.

The Republicans requested documents, but not the ones from Kavanuagh’s White House days. Those are the ones the Dems want to see.

“The Archivist shall have an affirmative duty to make such records available to the public as rapidly and completely as possible consistent with the provisions of this chapter.”

“The Archivist shall establish procedures whereby any person denied access to a Presidential record because such record is restricted pursuant to a determination made under this paragraph, may file an administrative appeal of such determination. Such procedures shall provide for a written determination by the Archivist or the Archivist’s designee, within 30 working days after receipt of such an appeal, setting forth the basis for such determination.”

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/44/2204

“(2) subject to any rights, defenses, or privileges which the United States or any agency or person may invoke, Presidential records shall be made available—
(A) pursuant to subpoena or other judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of any civil or criminal investigation or proceeding;
...
(C) to either House of Congress, or, to the extent of matter within its jurisdiction, to any committee or subcommittee thereof if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of its business and that is not otherwise available”

Never underestimate the RINO leadership’s propensity to cave in on this and go along with the Democrats’ request.

They need to go back before Kavanaugh was in the Bush Administration, but they won’t. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/08/wapo_calls_facts_of_vince_foster_and_kavanaugh_newsworthy_then_distorts_and_omits_facts.html

There is an ample judicial record of Kavannaugh for those who are interested to review.

The DemonRats who have already decided to vote against the nominee can ask him pretty much anything in the hearing.

And this is just The Hill trying in their usual slanted way to make a big deal out of a non-issue.

As stated by a prior poster in Obongo's own words: "Elections have consequences."

Judicial nomination is one of the greatest powers bestowed upon an elected President.
