Gang Of 14 Split On Kavanaugh?

At the very least, the Democratic Gang of Seven wants new hearings on the appeals court nomination of current WH staff sec. Brett Kavanaugh.

From a letter sent to Senators today:

"We think this request for a new hearing is entirely reasonable, so that the Judiciary Committee can have an opportunity to ask questions and seek answers on new issues which havt arisen since Mr. Kavanaugh's hearing was held over two years ago. As we have several new members in the Senate, the opportunity to review Mr. Kavanaugh's credentials, including the past two years, is essential. Additionally, perhaps Mr. Kavanaugh would appreciate the opportunity of another hearing to clarify his role, or lack thereof, in issues viewed by some as controversial, such as the White House-approved policy regarding wiretapping."

"As you consider this request, we hope you will remember the spirit of bipartisanhip in which this body has operated on judicial nominations this past year. In addition to the many lower court nominees, the Senate has confirmed two Supreme Court nominees Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito -- without prolonged debate or filibuster. In considering... these nominees, the information available to us was sufficient to make informed decision."


The ball really is in the court shared by Sen. John McCain and Sen. John Warner.
