Americans Deserve Better than Sen. Schumer’s Blatant Partisan Delay Tactics

Aug 16, 2018 by AFP

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity Vice President of Judicial Strategy Sarah Field issued a statement in response to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) comments today threatening to sue the National Archives for Judge Kavanaugh’s records:

“More documents have been produced for Judge Kavanaugh than any other high court nominee in history. Senators are already free to pour over the more than one million pages of legal records and opinions from Judge Kavanaugh’s career, which reveal everything you need to know about his judicial philosophy and outstanding qualifications.

“Sen. Schumer didn’t need to review a single document when he made his opposition to Kavanaugh clear before he was even nominated. This is nothing more than a political stunt to obstruct and delay the confirmation of an extremely qualified jurist. His colleagues in the Senate should continue to reject these partisan delay tactics. Americans deserve better.”
