If Brett Kavanaughs confirmed to the Supreme Court it will have profoundly negative effects on workers rights, Womens Rights and Voting Rights for decades to come.

In the eyes of some of the most partisan people in the country who would hold kagan and sotomayor up as highly qualified and would challenge any republican, vote against them. You live in unusual times as i do. You should get more than 90 votes but you wont, and i am sorry it has gotten to where it has. Its got nothing to do a...

We are back. the nominee is seated and we believe senator richard durbin of illinois takes up the questioning for the democrats. >> -- set down and cleared with you their decision on the release of documents? >> no. i was not involved in the documents process or substance. >> no one told you you would be the first supreme court nominee to assert executive privilege to limit the access to 100,000 documents relating to your service in the white house? >> senator, a couple things packed in your question. so i did study the nominee precedent, read all the hearings. this kamg came up in justice scs...
