What I do not understand is, what is the jeopardy of just waiting, not just to digest these documents but other documents?

The claims that the Democrats are putting forward on documents do not withstand any serious scrutiny.

A good judge never bases decisions on his preferred policy preferences.

The question is does he have the character and temperament to do that.

Senators have had more than enough time and materials to adequately assess Judge Kavanaugh's qualifications, and so, that is why I proceed.

One of the Senate's most solemn constitutional duties is to provide advice and consent to the President on the nomination of Supreme Court Justices.

This vote and this proceeding could not be more consequential in light of what is at stake: whether women can decide when they want to have children and become pregnant; whether the people of America can decide whom they would like to…

It cannot be that the Senate and the ACLU are entitled to more protection than the President of the United States.

Without getting into any of the gory details here, I think it suffices to say that Senator Ted Kennedy and Judge Bork did not agree on certain matters of constitutional law.

I believe that the heroes will be our independent judiciary and our free press.

But this is only possible when judges are committed to the rule of law.

There is also the question of independence from the legislative branch, equally as important.

This is why we talk about an independent judiciary. This is why they wear robes.

Judges must leave the lawmaking to Congress, the elected representatives of the people.

You probably heard the first sentence of something I said after our break, and that was, that I first started talking about expecting a million documents, and we end up, I think, with 488,000.

I want everybody to know that right now, so that Members and their staff can be working on written questions throughout the week.

The fact that we cannot take a few days or weeks to have a complete review of Judge Kavanaugh's record is unfair to the American people.

We need some sunlight in this process.

Democratic Senators interrupted the hearing 63 times before lunch, and in the audience, 70 people were arrested yesterday.

It was our time, as Committee Members, yesterday to make our case. Today is different.

The reason the Democrats are fighting so loudly on this issue is they are making a demand they know is impossible to meet.

Those documents written by other people say nothing, zero, about Judge Kavanaugh's views.

There is plenty of time put in on this nomination.

Is it possible for that question to be answered without violating any counsel relationships?

No one is above the law.
