Someone like Elena Kagan perhaps.
I was comparing Kagan based off her credentials in terms of being a lawyer versus a judge, which was the context...but you knew that already.Kagan's record is an open book. At no time was the Senate denied access to her work in the Clinton Admin. That's not true wrt Kavanaugh.
Tell us about both sides.

What do we not know about Kavanaugh and what further vetting do you require? You still haven’t answered that.
The vetting process, working as designed, exposed allegations of perjury. Those allegations need to be addressed before any confirmation vote or impeachment.I think we agree that from what we know he should likely not be confirmed and potentially impeached in his current position, no?

hehehe...
Spare me the hysterics. You know there are 100k pages because no one is trying to hide their existence. There is a process to release said documents, and I fully support suspending confirmation pending the release of documents relevant to vetting him as a judge.Oh, please. That's so dishonest. There are ~100K pages of his work during the Bush admin being deliberately withheld. Mere fact.
It may be some lunatic fringe democratic group. Seems it may be valid but the impact or merit is something quite separate.is that a recent publication by a legit outlet, or something from a long time ago? cause that is ironic AF that garland would review the complaint. no stranger fiction than reality continues to be the trend.

So dishonest. The Democrats are just playing the document Pokemon game the same as with Bork. Do you want to see Kavanaugh’s Netflix history?
Glad to see you are suddenly such an advocate of transparency and now recognize the importance of making official records available according to process and protocol.

During the Bork hearings, one of the documents obtained and circulated was his video rental habits, hence the Netflix reference.Projection. First, there were republicans that opposed Bork. Second, enough with the lame attempts at hyperbole. Wanting to know what happened during years of service to the corrupt Cheney admin is hardly a flippant or unreasonable expectation. To liken that to Netflix history, wow, you're still trying to carry water for the republicans even though you acknowledge this guy shouldn't be on the court.
The republicans are withholding the documents for a reason and you know it.
The Republicans are not going to place a SCOTUS justice easily impeached by documents that will not stay concealed forever.
Fair and good point, which would be a short sighted gambit made out of desperationMaybe not R but Trump Party would... To protect Trump.

The Bork hearings went off the rails because Kennedy and Biden went nuclear, Kennedy especially with his concerted smear campaign. I expect for some Republicans, much of this is payback.
The Republicans are withholding documents because they can, but do you honestly believe they’ve not reviewed them? If there is something damning or juicy, Senate Democrats would undoubtedly have awareness. The pendulum in Washington swings very quickly.

Harry Reid opened that Pandora’s Box. The only risk in trampling over the minority party is their gaining back the majority. The GOP is opening their own Pandora’s Boxes which will similarly come back to bite them. I am sure you would have no problem with the Democrats stacking SCOTUS with additional judges.Of course they are. They rigged it so that he gets in by 51 votes of the Senate but it would take 67 to remove him along with 218 HOR reps.
Let’s also not fool ourselves into thinking that the Democrats would behave any different if they had the White House, Congress and an opportunity to set the course for SCOTUS. Doubt there would be any consideration or concern given to maintaining “balance”.Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking Republicans wouldn’t be behaving identically even if they hadn’t conjured up some imaginary grievance about Robert Bork.
