Republicans want to keep documents from 3 of the 5 years Kavanaugh worked in the White House hidden. Kavanaugh himself has said that those three years were “in many ways among the most instructive” to him as a judge. So how can they justify concealing these documents?

On top of that, just yesterday, the National Archives announced they can’t review and produce Kavanaugh’s documents from the other 2 years he worked in the White House until the end of October.

The American people have a right to see the full record of a potential Justice who will serve a lifetime appointment and decide issues that significantly impact the lives of all Americans.

It is also our *constitutional duty* as United States Senators to provide advice and consent on nominations. Frankly, every single one of the 100 senators should want to see Kavanaugh’s full record. It is our obligation.

Republicans’ next move is to try to push ahead with hearings and votes on Kavanaugh regardless of whether he is fully vetted. The only tool we have to stop them is public pressure. We need everyone shouting about this.

As always they are so short-sighted and without a moral compass

We're paying attention. My senators and Reps are Democrats. What do I do?

Call them and ask that they not vote until records are released.

Well, here's the thing: no Democrat's vote is needed for the GOP to confirm this sham of judge. Dems have zero power to stop a vote. I gather from the (excellent) staff who talk w/ me when I call
@SenSchumer that he is planning on meeting w/ Kavanaugh after the break. 1/2 -
2/2 It may be that our best hope is that enough public outrage can be generated by Dems once they relay to us what Kavanaugh said to them during those meetings. Before then, tho, Schumer's office advised that we must call those Dems who voted yes on Gorsuch even if they 2/

3/ are not our Senators. Also we must call Murkowski & Collins. So I will do all that, not b/c it is some magic bullet, but b/c I am not sensing the same level of activism from the public as we brought to preserve the ACA. Schumer's office, by the way, also said citing fear

4/ of losing health care among our reasons for rejecting Kavanaugh is valid as Senators know how interconnected the issues are.
