The confirmation process for President’s Trump’s nominee to be the next justice on the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, has been anything but normal. Two days before Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearing is slated to begin, the Minnesota Democrat said the fact that 100,000 pages of records -- from his time on former President George W. Bush's staff -- have yet to be released is not normal. Many Democratic lawmakers have called for Kavanaugh’s hearing to be postponed and rescheduled until after November’s midterm elections. A White House operation is focused primarily on defending Kavanaugh and amplifying his answers, with Senate Republicans set to take the lead in going after Democrats on the committee. The operation is standard for any confirmation process, but given the polarized political environment the White House is preparing for an intense battle.
