It’s Official: The Date for Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court Hearing Has Been Set

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has officially released the dates for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing to become the next justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The hearing will begin on Tuesday, September 4 and is expected to span three or four days. Opening statements will be made on the first day, with questioning starting on Wednesday, September 5.

“As I said after his nomination, Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most respected jurists in the country and one of the most qualified nominees ever to be considered by the Senate for a seat on our highest court. My team has already reviewed every page of the over 4,800 pages of judicial opinions Judge Kavanaugh wrote, over 6,400 pages of opinions he joined, more than 125,000 pages of records produced from his White House legal service, and over 17,000 pages in response to the most comprehensive questionnaire ever submitted to a nominee,” Grassley released in a statement. “He’s a mainstream judge. He has a record of judicial independence and applying the law as it is written. He’s met with dozens of senators who have nothing but positive things to say. At this current pace, we have plenty of time to review the rest of emails and other records that we will receive from President Bush and the National Archives. It’s time for the American people to hear directly from Judge Kavanaugh at his public hearing.” (Read more from “It’s Official: The Date for Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court Hearing Has Been Set” HERE)
