Grassley has unilaterally ruled 1/3 of the #Kavanaugh records to be "Committee Confidential"


@SenMarkey

BREAKING: Chairman Grassley has unilaterally ruled 1/3 of the #Kavanaugh records to be “Committee Confidential” meaning anyone not on Judiciary Committee cannot see them. That’s 79 Senators & the entire American public. It’s an unprecedented level of secrecy. #WhatAreTheyHiding?

Figure out which Senate rule allows a loop hole and charge right through it. Grassley has played the pitbull for too long. He may have the authority to do this, but he doesn't have the right. The American people have rights too and we deserve to know what's in Kavanaugh's record that Grassley would find it necessary to put it out of reach. It's time some one stood up to Chuck the Puck.

We're stuck with Gorsuch (Anyone remember his mother, Ann ?), which is appalling after what they did to Merrick Garland.

I say fight it. Find anything to obstruct but do not allow another judge to be seated by trmp. Stall if necessary.

The man is 85 years old and has been in Congress for 37 years. Iowa, you deserve better. When is Grassley up for re-election ?

Remind me again why we stopped tarring and feathering people like this.

but too many people died after the procedure.

I saw we bring back "drawing and quartering." Now THAT is something that fits the bill.

Trump, would be dictator he is, is still being enabled by other republicans like Grassley.

We are in a place I never thought we would be in during my lifetime. This is so alarming.

Can't they be sued and released from the National Archives under the Freedom of Information Act?
