Rand Paul: "After meeting Judge Kavanaugh and reviewing his record, I have decided to..."

[Miles Archer]

“After meeting Judge Kavanaugh and reviewing his record, I have decided to support his nomination,” Paul said in a series of Twitter posts explaining his decision.

Kavanaugh, tapped to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, planned to meet later on Monday with Senator Joe Manchin, who was one of three Democrats to support Trump’s first nominee to the high court, Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Manchin will be the first Senate Democrat to meet with Kavanaugh, a conservative appeals court judge, since his nomination earlier this month.

“I have expressed my concern over Judge Kavanaugh’s record on warrantless bulk collection of data and how that might apply to very important privacy cases before the Supreme Court,” he wrote.

11. He's lying. Kavanaugh's record has not yet been released, just the fluffy stuff

the Heritage Foundation deemed suitable.

Schumer said Senate Democrats would not meet with Kavanaugh until Republicans agree to release his emails and other documents when he served President George W. Bush.

This was the standard Republicans set for the confirmation of Elena Kagan who served in the Clinton White House. Obama agreed to release more than 170,000 documents related to her tenure.
