So, more than 100k documents were withheld from the public and not made fully available to the Senate Judiciary Committee to enable the members of the committee to adequately vet a nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States, a lifetime position. How did it happen? Chuck Grassely, the republican committee chairman, made it an ironclad decision and denied the committee adequate time to review those materials. But how was this pulled off in the first place? Did the suggestion and authorization to make these documents “committee confidential” come from Don McGhan, the WH lawyer, who then delegated it to this unknown defense lawyer who is not even a government employee? If that’s the way it went down, that keeps McGhan’s hands really clean, doesn’t it? I have a few questions about the week before the committee reconvenes to hear the testimonies of the woman who accused Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her and Kavanaugh himself. Are any of the members of the Senate Judiciary committee using any of the time this week to further review the documents that they were not given adequate time to review before and during the nomination hearings? If they do, will they be able to ask further questions that arise in the proceedings when the committee reconvenes for these new testimonies? All I can say is I hope so. We don’t know and won’t know. But, we will see what is actually done next week.
