Kavanaugh moves toward confirmation vote

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley set up a final committee vote on Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday, slotting in President Donald Trump’s high court pick for a Sept. 20 panel vote. The full Senate would vote on Kavanaugh shortly after. Senate Democrats tried to delay committee business in a last-bid ditch to stall the Supreme Court nominee, but Grassley seized control of the committee upon its opening and immediately moved to tee up a vote on Kavanaugh next week. Republicans also defeated a Democratic motion to subpoena Kavanaugh’s documents from his time working in the White House. source: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/13/kavanaugh-confirmation-vote-822237 #Headlines by: Burgess Everett
