Kavanaugh Hearing Set for September 4

Judge Brett Kavanuagh’s confirmation hearing is set to begin on September 4 as announced by Judiciary Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley today.

Grassley predicted that the hearings will span three or four days, starting with opening statements on Sept. 4 and questioning on Sept. 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,” Grassley said in a statement. “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 as a nominee.”

“He’s a mainstream judge," Grassley added. "He has a record of judicial independence and applying the law as it is written."

Despite liberals claims of rushing or anything similar, Kavanaugh’s hearings will be later than the most recent Democrat nominees and the overall average:

The time between nomination and hearings for Kavanaugh (57 days) is 6 days more than the average length of time (51 days) for all confirmed justices including and after Breyer
