And now it's time that Brett Kavanaugh gets the fair up-or-down vote that he's been waiting on for 3 years. Later this morning, the Senate will give him that vote. We will fulfill our constitutional duty of advice and consent. Over the last few weeks, we've heard a lot about his sterling credentials and professional experience.…”
