Hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh will begin in September, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced Friday.
Grassley predicted that the hearings will span three or four days, starting with opening statements on Sept. 4 and questioning on Sept. 5.
“As I said after his nomination, Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most respected jurists in the country and one of the most qualified nominees ever to be considered by the Senate for a seat on our highest court,†Grassley said in a statement. “My team has already reviewed every page of the over 4,800 pages of judicial opinions Judge Kavanaugh wrote, over 6,400 pages of opinions he joined, more than 125,000 pages of records produced from his White House legal service, and over 17,000 pages in response to the most comprehensive questionnaire ever submitted as a nominee.â€
“He’s a mainstream judge," Grassley added. "He has a record of judicial independence and applying the law as it is written."
