Despite our protests. Despite our outrage. Despite the fact that 90% of his record is still being hidden from the very committee charged with confirming his nomination — let alone the public. (And despite what was released — all 42,000 pages — becoming available only 15 hours before hearings began.) Despite it all, Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings are moving forward. We won’t just roll over and give up. We need to prove them wrong. We need to shout louder, protest more passionately, call our Senators more frequently.
