Democrats are convinced that smoking guns and legal landmines are buried in millions of pages of documents from Judge Brett M. Kavanaughs past.
But 500,000 pages into their search, they have yet to identify them.
As Judge Kavanaugh prepares for his Senate confirmation hearing Tuesday, his judicial record captured in more than 300 opinions on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, is getting little attention.
Instead, the battle has been over access to more than 3 million pages of documents from his time in the Bush White House.
The other side has apparently found very little in his record thats objectionable, Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican and Judiciary Committee chairman, said on the Senate floor this month. The only thing I keep hearing about is their unprecedented demand for millions and millions of pages of irrelevant documents on top of the hundreds of thousands of pages weve already received.
What does emerge from the documents made public so far are snapshots of a meticulous legal mind with a touch of temper and outrage and a fierce work ethic.
Emails reveal Judge Kavanaugh was often told to knock off his late-night work and head home. He also appears to have neglected his voicemail box, judging by the number of email messages from folks complaining that they had to resort to writing.
Those are far from the blockbuster revelations Democrats hoped to find to help their quest to derail the Supreme Court nomination.
Still, they say Judge Kavanaugh will have to answer for some things they see.
Sen. Mazie K. Hirono, Hawaii Democrat, said she is looking for patterns, and there are patterns.

His office said one Democratic senator made an appointment to review the papers but didnt show.
Democrats still making fools of themselves.
Yes, endless witch hunts are patterns.
In the words of the immortal Gogo Dodo, when Babs Bunny demanded that he stop acting silly: “I’m not ACTING.”
The DNC aren’t “making” fools of themselves.
BTT
Politico poser mazie k. hirono has made considerable noise lately. Another 2020 left wing nut presidential contender?
Stupid people trying to bork Kavanaugh.
Only theyve found nothing to bork him with.
You would think the Democrats had their ground game in place by now.
Oops!
Russia, Russia, Russia part deux
Do they realize what precedent they are setting?
Dems are filthy bastards. They only know how to destroy good people.
Pelosi? Schumer? Mad Maxine? Hillary? Al Frankenstein?.. YOU CAN'T!!!
Support Free Republic, Folks!
These antics are as bad as Dirty Harry’s on the filibuster fiasco that has come back to bite them.
“Instead, the battle has been over access to more than 3 million pages of documents from his time in the Bush White House.”
Wake me up when they work their way back to his high school term paper.

Brett is going to make them look really foolish just like the Facebook hearings. It will be amusing.
If they ever take over, they will pass a law that says, "When researching Democrat SCOTUS nominees, the Republicans will be allowed to ask for no more than 1,000 pages of information."
If Sen. Hirono likes patterns, I suggest she spin around very fast in an office chair while applying gentle pressure on your closed eyelids with your fingers. You will see latent retinal images of colors and complex patterns galore! This might satisfy your need to see things into Kavanaugh's career history and intentions that are simply not there, while ignoring his record of judicial integrity and constitutional awareness.
He's in good company. So did John Marshall, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Louis Brandeis.
