This nomination is not popular. It’s unfortunate that Supreme Court nominations have become so politicized but I blame McConnell for stealing a seat.

Gave this another stab for you:
"I've been open to supporting Judge Kavanaugh but until we see all the records from his time in government, as is the norm for these lifetime appointments, I am unable to conduct the thorough review my constituents expect."https://t.co/UhqVdxExED— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) August 16, 2018
Republicans used to demand transparency for SCOTUS noms. Now they’re blocking nearly all of Judge Kavanaugh’s records from public release and trying to rush through his nomination. What are Republicans hiding? #ReleaseTheRecords https://t.co/qoiGxur01v

Since Republicans have chosen secrecy over transparency, Democrats issued a FOIA request to the National Archives, seeking the full gamut of Kavanaugh’s records, including from his time as Staff Secretary.
We stand ready to sue the Archives for his full records, if necessary.

Another reason Kavanaugh cannot take a seat on SCOTUS: his disregard for climate chaos. His “neutral” stance on the interpretation of environmental legislation cannot solve the sweeping problems we face. #TodaysClimateFact https://t.co/wnKpXqeMy6

Significant gender gap between men and women over Kavanaugh. Just 35% of women consider his views to be mainstream vs. 50% of men. And just 28% of women back Kavanaugh, compared to 47% of men. https://t.co/hUtAQyhDUg
