Six Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration on Monday to obtain records from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time working for the Bush administration, according to a Buzzfeed News report.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Kamala Harris (D-CA) are requesting immediate court action to get the documents as soon as possible.

Fine. Put it on a court calendar for about 5 months from now. Better yet, just say “NO!”

They might be a “motley collection of human sub-intellect” but come November millions of mind-numbed voters will trudge to the polls to cast their vote for these enemies of our republic. God help us...

We need some help here, Lord.

All we have is Trump and our votes, but that may not be enough against the evil of the Democrat machine.

Is there anything wrong with praying for justice?

The real reason for their transparent delay tactics?

Yes. No prosecutor would even look at this case. Of course a first year law student acting as defense should have been able to sink this one if Dr. DeLoon had brought the complaint forward 36 years ago.

Delay tactic. When Kennedy announced his retirement, they had already made up their minds to oppose ANYONE Trump nominated. NOTHING found in those documents will change their minds.

The three stooges times two: richard blumenthal, patrick leahy, sheldon whitehouse, mazie hirono, cory booker, and kamala harris.

Well, you MAY get to double figures with the sum of these bozos' IQs. However, the integrity meter would not even move.

The committee only votes to present the nominee to the full Senate. It’s really only a formality.

And allow the next Rat president to put two activist liberal judges on the bench?

No, it is a tactic to force the nomination until after the Nov elections in hopes the Rats will take the Senate and can force a more moderate nominee.

It seems to me that - as members of the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body - if you have to file a lawsuit, you have already lost. This goes for Republicans, too.

Executive privilege?

Hasn't this already been discussed?

No...it's to smear Kav and if it succeeds, a way for them to take down every single candidate put up, by this and any other GOP president, forever!

The object is also to get B.K. to pull/back out of this nomination.

More so than the delay gambit.

WHY>

Because NOBODY says that the thin GOP majority in the Senate will be overturned and it won't be.

If you are correct, just wait until Stevens or Ginsberg die or retire.
