But does this guy demonstrate the cool composure expected of a Supreme Court Justice?
Democrats say that Kavanaugh lied in a past confirmation hearing.
Senate Democrats think they have caught Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in a lie about his involvement in the nomination of a controversial anti-Roe v. Wade judge.
In 2004, Kavanaugh said he did not “personally” handle the nomination of Judge William Pryor, who currently sits on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers Alabama, Georgia, and Florida) and was on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist. Pryor, a conservative George W. Bush judicial nominee, is somewhat of a liberal bogeyman, famously calling Roe v. Wade, the legal right to abortion, ”the worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.”
For three days, Senate Democrats have been trying to poke holes in Kavanaugh’s seemingly squeaky clean record, and highlight areas that he could be perceived as an extreme conservative judge on, including abortion rights. Democrats have also been arguing that we don’t know enough about Kavanaugh’s record and don’t have enough documents to paint a full picture of his past
