Washington—Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced a long-awaited hearing on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. Judge Kavanaugh has spent 12 years on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, has issued over 300 opinions, and the committee has received and reviewed more documents from Judge Kavanaugh than they did for both Gorsuch and Kagan.
Heritage Action released the following statement from Executive Director Tim Chapman:
Judge Kavanaugh is a supremely qualified candidate who is widely respected by his colleagues on the bench and will, based on this record, faithfully uphold the Constitution and interpret the law as-written. Senate Democrats opposed the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court even before President Trump made the announcement, and preceded to obstruct the process for as long as possible. It's time Senate Democrats end their charade and give his nomination the seriousness it deserves.
Heritage Action looks forward to Judge Kavanaugh's swift confirmation after his hearing next month.
