Orrin Hatch, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is tired of the stupid and "dumbass" partisanship exhibited by Democrats as they request files from Kavanaugh's time in the Bush White House. He says that Republicans never treated Democratic nominees this way.
Which is true. They were much worse. They just didn't even give them hearings.
Hatch, who praised Merrick Garland in 2010 as a good moderate choice for the SCOTUS, called on Obama to nominate Garland in 2016, saying he was a moderate and that would be a good gesture but that Obama wouldn't do that to his "very liberal base".
After Obama did nominate Garland, Hatch and McConnell adopted the policy of not even considering SCOTUS nominees in an election year.
That's some dumbass partisanship
