      There are 10 Democratic members of @SenJudiciary, & all have many staffers; reviewing the Kavanaugh documents was doable, especially if the teams divvied up the production; plus, substantive questioning starts tomorrow anyway. #KavanaughConfirmation #SCOTUShttps://twitter.com/erin_gs/status/1037033214399922177 …

      If you mean speed clicking through business manuals and duplicate emails, sure.

      David, take it from someone in practice — no. It would take 2 days just to upload them to the servers for a proper review. Sure you could “review” them all if that meant “print them all and flip through them.” It doesn’t.

      Cc'ing @GarrettVentry - perhaps he can explain how @ChuckGrassley's staff reviewed it all by themselves (apparently without divvying up the work with other Republican members of @SenJudiciary; Dems could have done that in a pinch, circulating "hot docs").

      Replying to @DavidLat @senjudiciary and

      (1) I'd be shocked if they weren't communicating with Burck, so they knew what was in there before; (2) that dynamic enabled them to "flip past" and ignore anything that wasn't "hot"; (3) they don't care because this is an exercise in raw power... 1/2

      Replying to @ohaiom @DavidLat and

      ...they have the votes, absent true and overwhelming public outrage. And "you didn't produce all the documents" generates yawns among public and judges alike (trust me!); whereas the stuff they're hiding has a much larger chance of generating outrage.

      Replying to @ohaiom @senjudiciary and

      Well, I do agree with you that "you didn't produce all the documents" is hard to gin up public outrage over -- as opposed to, say, actual bad documents....
