Here’s the news you need to know on this Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
Democrats cry foul over the release of Kavanaugh documents, despite the precedent set with Kagan
Senate Democrats are complaining about the source of documents pertaining to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, saying they won’t accept the records unless they are produced by the National Archives, but Democrats didn’t have a problem with documents coming from another source when it came to Justice Elena Kagan’s confirmation in 2010.
The Democrats’ Delusory Document Demands
I am reliably informed that Senate Democrats were absolutely insistent that they would not agree to any limitations on the universe of documents demanded. The obvious—indeed, the only plausible—explanation for their position is that their overriding goal is to obstruct by delay, not to acquire relevant information about the nominee.

Desperation, Demands and Double Standards
Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s opponents are getting desperate and nonsensical. The group Demand Justice, for example, has an unusual demand. In their latest email blast, they demand that Senate Democrats show that they “take the Constitution seriously” by “boycott[ing] Kavanaugh’s hearings.”
Demand Justice says that boycotting this crucial part of the confirmation process will somehow prove that senators take the Constitution seriously?

Alaska Leaders Weigh In: Judge Brett Kavanaugh deserves better
The United States Senate would serve our country by confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh’s immense qualifications and exemplary record alone should carry him to the bench. But to those of us who care about our nation’s Constitution, and the clear roles between our different branches of government, the stakes are too high to assume qualifications are the determining factor during a confirmation process.
