What Happened In The Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

Like Perry mentioned, Kavanaugh is listing his previous political positions, for better or worse. Before the allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, Democrats were asking for the release of documents from Kavanaugh’s time working in the George W. Bush administration as a staff secretary, likely because Democrats in red states needed a reason to vote no that wasn’t ideological or issue-based. The documents were not released.

I am now generally curious about how the Democratic senators will question him. It seems like those exchanges could get really intense.

Yeah, Kavanaugh is going through the many high-profile posts of his career, noting that he had never been accused of sexual assault before this. But let’s not kid ourselves: None of the jobs he has held (even working for Ken Starr) were nearly as high-stakes or high-profile as justice of the Supreme Court. Certainly, the average American hadn’t heard his name until this summer.
