Dem senator filing lawsuit to block Kavanaugh vote
By Jordain Carney - 09/26/18 01:03 PM EDT

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said Wednesday that he is filing a lawsuit to try to prevent the Senate from taking up Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination until his "full record" is available.
 
Merkley argued the handling of Kavanaugh's nomination is "an assault on the separation of powers" and violates the Constitution. Merkley said his lawsuit will be filed later Wednesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., and would ask the court to block a vote until documents are handed over.
 
"The president and Mitch McConnell want to ram through this nomination come hell or high water, without real advice or informed consent by the Senate, but that's just not our Constitution works," Merkley said in a statement.
 
Merkley, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, laid out three acts where he thought the White House had directly interfered with the Senate's "advice and consent" responsibly: Blocking access to staff secretary documents, blocking access to some documents from Kavanaugh's work as a White House lawyer and the labeling of some documents given to the Judiciary Committee as "committee confidential."

Where the hell are they going to file it?  What court do they think has jurisdiction?

I know, it's all for show.

Probably the same one that issued all these other patently illegal orders in the last couple of years.

A Senator is suing the Senate to stop a Senate vote?  This can't be real.  Who writes this stuff?

Exciting, isn't it! I personally don't see anything worth saving. Burn baby burn.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
