Some people are making a big deal out of the documents, but if Kavanaugh has said or implied that's where a lot of his opinions came from, then that period and documents are relevant. Ultimately, it's all irrelevant as support is going to be party line, but how he's likely to rule is relevant.


And I think folks screaming about executive privilege when a democrat is POTUS aren't going to find an ally in Kavanaugh. Same with folks who want justices to enforce the constitution instead of legislate, such as wiretapping. 

Well then judge him on his rulings. Don't hold him accountable for documents that a prior administration chooses not to release.

From what I understand his rulings are usually supported by his peers.
