During your time in the Bush White House, the administration actively took steps to limit women's reproductive choices.

I authored assault weapons legislation that became law for 10 years, and I have seen the destruction.

Effective investigation requires cooperation with a multidisciplinary team that includes medical professionals, victim advocates, dedicated forensic interviewers, criminalists, and other law enforcement members.

For decades, the American Bar has provided an analysis of judicial nominations to provide the Senate and the American public with an important assessment of a nominee's qualifications.

The issue of qualities really should not matter. It should be the fairness, the likeability, the qualifications only.

These claims were taken seriously by having the Federal Bureau of Investigation launch an inquiry to determine their validity.

I happen to believe that it did work and that it was important.

Women have never historically been treated equal, and finally, you know, we got the vote.

Ultimately, because reporters were sitting outside of my home and trying to talk to my dog through the window to calm the dog down.

I did not hide Dr. Ford's allegations. I did not leak her story.

I don't think the letter was ever leaked.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

93 percent of the records from Kavanaugh's tenure in the White House as counsel and staff secretary have not been provided to the Senate.

I will nominate someone who is anti-choice and pro-gun.

I truly believe that women should be able to control their own reproductive systems within obviously some concern for a viable fetus.

If this is what it looks like to respect precedent and treat Roe as settled law, then these are empty promises.

I want to thank you very much for your testimony. I know how very, very hard it is.

the investigation that the Republican Majority is heralding is really nothing that I know about other than a partisan practice.

The rating is not determinative, and by no means is it the only consideration necessary to evaluate a nominee.

Over a dozen Cabinet members and senior aides to President Trump have resigned, been fired, or failed their confirmations under clouds of corruption, scandal, and suspicion.

Don McGahn, the White House Counsel, spoke to the Federalist Society and made clear Brett Kavanaugh is exactly the kind of nominee the President wanted.

How do you reconcile what you have just said with the hundreds of school shootings using assault weapons that have taken place in recent history?

how women are treated in the United States with this kind of concern is really wanting a lot of reform

It's my understanding that her story was leaked before the letter became public.

Thank you for your powerful and inspirational testimony.
