WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Brett Kavanaugh spent a collegial first day on the bench as a U.S. Supreme Court justice on Tuesday that contrasted sharply with the venom of his confirmation process, taking an active role in arguments alongside his eight new colleagues.
With the potential for more evidence and allegations to surface, there will be a permanent cloud over Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court seat.
Female opposition to the Republican push to confirm Kavanaugh shot up by double digits since last month, from 42 percent to 55 percent.
It's easy to be proven innocent when you conduct an investigation that ignores all evidence that could prove any wrongdoing.
Ahead of Saturday's confirmation vote, Brett Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez shredded U.S. Senators for turning a blind on a sexual assault.
Going forward, the American people would be better served by ignoring this fraud – at least until she's thrown out in 2020.
Republicans will celebrate their so-called victory on Saturday, but in exactly a month they could regret ever confirming Brett Kavanaugh.
Sen. Coons seems to be making yet another appeal to the same part of Flake that convinced him to have a change of heart last week.
For the first time in over three decades, the Washington Post editorial board is urging the United States Senate to reject a Supreme Court nominee.
It is up to the remaining undecided GOP women in the Senate to step up and show the same political courage that Heitkamp showed on Thursday.
Democratic U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp said on Thursday she would vote against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a radio interview.
If the 2015 version of Brett Kavanaugh was a United States senator, he wouldn't think twice before voting no on the 2018 version of Brett Kavanaugh.
The letter demonstrates just how unpopular Kavanaugh's nomination is to people who care most about the court's integrity.
Despite the fact that Brett Kavanaugh's nomination should be dead on the Senate floor, Republicans continue to push ahead.
Whenever it looks like Donald Trump and the Republican Party can't possibly go any lower, they grab shovels and start digging.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Opposition among Americans to Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, has increased in the wake of his testimony last week before a U.S. Senate committee in which he defiantly denied sexual misconduct allegations, Reuters/Ipsos polling data showed on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two moderate Republicans who could be pivotal in determining whether the Senate confirms U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh criticized President Donald Trump on Wednesday for mocking a woman who has accused the judge of sexual assault.
Trump may leave after one or – god forbid – two terms, but if Kavanaugh is placed on the Supreme Court, it'll be like this president never left at all.
The flurry of new reporting on Monday isn't only consistent with those claims, but it proves he lied repeatedly under oath.
Not only did Kavanaugh know of the allegations from Ramirez before they went public, but he also personally tried to get potential witnesses to refute them.
