Conservatives React to Announcement of Kavanaugh Hearings Schedule
Conservatives react to the Judiciary Committee’s announcement of the confirmation hearings dates for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and supporting Chairman Grassley in moving the confirmation process forward.
The proof is in the pudding: Kavanaugh’s judicial record should tell Senate Dems all they need to know
Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals more than 500 days longer than Sotomayor had when she was appointed to the Supreme Court. He has written 307 majority or separate opinions and joined 391 others. Those published opinions, which comprise 8,491 pages, have been publicly available all along; no document requests are needed. Kavanaugh also participated in more than 1,600 cases with unpublished decisions in which he did not write opinions.
What Kavanaugh Is Like Behind the Scenes: Former Clerks Share Stories
“Judge Kavanaugh’s colleagues on the D.C. Circuit are diverse in their judicial philosophies. But, at least when I was there, they were not diverse in their views of Judge Kavanaugh,” said Rebecca Taibleson, who also clerked for Kavanaugh in 2010 and 2011. “Rather, their views of him were uniformly as a respected, collegial, valued colleague who works very hard, who is a straight shooter, and who is unfailingly polite and kind to his colleagues.” Taibleson is now a prosecutor in Milwaukee. “Similarly, he’s hired law clerks from across the ideological spectrum. He values dissent, disagreement, and banter in chambers,” Taibleson said. “He follows along a careful process in deciding what he thinks about a case. He is open to dissent and banter and that process. That being said, I should say, on the few occasions I did disagree with him, I never actually managed to budge him.”
