Kavenaugh OMG

Senator Jeff Merkeley (D- Oregon) filed suit in Federal District Court to stop the SCJ Nomination process on Wednesday, September 26th, 2018.

Not sure if my state Democratic Senator's actions will be taken seriously, but Merkeley does make an point about senators not being able to have complete access to Kava-Not's records (which go as far back as the Bush administration, etc).

Excerpt from the article:

"Americans deserve a justice whose lifetime appointment is not tainted by political gamesmanship and whose appointment comes after full release and examination of his records," declared Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which is representing Merkley, along with the firm Mehri & Skalet.

"We are witnessing a U.S. Supreme Court nomination process that, from its onset, is an executive branch power grab giving the president unchecked authority over choosing this important lifetime appointment without a vigorous review of the nominee's records," she added. "At every turn, this process has been one shrouded in secrecy and is discordant with the process as laid out in the Constitution" ~ Kristen Clarke, President and Executive Director of the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
