Tweet - "It's clear that there are many parts of Judge Kavanaugh's record that Republicans do not want the American people to see. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 29, 2018
Tweet - "It's particularly important to review the record of *this* SCOTUS nominee who has been appointed by *this* President at *this* moment. And it's shocking that the Administration & Senate Republicans are hiding huge portions of Judge Kavanaugh's record in light of this."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2018
Letter to Charles E. Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee - Judiciary Committee Democrats Protest Withholding of Kavanaugh Documents
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 28, 2018
Tweet - "We have less than a week before the nomination hearing for Judge Kavanuagh, and the Senate Judiciary Committee has received less than 6% of his White House record. This vetting process is woefully inadequate. What are Senate Republicans hiding?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 24, 2018
Tweet - "We are at the threshold of a constitutional crisis. Rushing ahead with a hearing on Judge Kavanaugh -- who has argued a sitting President shouldn't be investigated -- would be a mistake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 24, 2018
Letter to the Hon. Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary - Judiciary Committee Democrats Call for Postponement of Kavanaugh Hearing
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 24, 2018

Durbin Statement On Meeting With Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump's Supreme Court Nominee
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh today acknowledged that he was involved in many of these issues, including same-sex marriage, abortion, executive power, detainees, torture, Supreme Court nominations, warrantless wiretapping, and more."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 23, 2018
Tweet - "The Administration and Senate Republicans have refused to disclose any documents from the 35 months that Judge Kavanaugh spent as Staff Secretary in the White House, a time when many controversial issues of constitutional importance were debated and decided."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh was strident during the investigation of President Clinton. Years later while working in the Bush WH, he changed his tune on presidential investigations. In light of the verdicts and guilty pleas this week, the American people deserve to know where he stands."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 22, 2018
Tweet - "In 2010, the public was able to see 99% of Justice Kagan's record from her time in the Clinton White House. Fast forward to 2018, and the public has seen only 2% of Judge Kavanaugh's record from his time in the Bush White House. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 22, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh worked in the Bush WH for 5 years, 35 months as Staff Secretary. He called that time "formative" for his career as a judge. The Judiciary Committee has ZERO documents from his 35 months as Staff Secretary. It's a black hole in his record. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 21, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh worked in the Bush White House for 5 years. 2% of his records from that time have been made public -- and those were cherrypicked for release by Kavanaugh's former deputy, a Republican lawyer. Does that sound fair, transparent, and objective? #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 21, 2018
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019--Continued
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 21, 2018
Tweet - "Republicans are refusing to be transparent about Judge Kavanaugh's records prior to his hearing. The public has only seen a glimpse of handpicked docs from Kavanaugh's White House tenure and no docs from his self-described "formative" years as Staff Secretary. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 18, 2018
Tweet - "The process Republicans have chosen to follow for the Kavanaugh nomination is unprecedented for a Supreme Court Justice, riddled with hypocrisy, and lacks transparency. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 17, 2018
Tweet - "Right now, the White House is saying to the American people: critical documents about Judge Kavanaugh's decisions as a top staffer to President Bush are just like President Trump's tax returns. None of your business."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 17, 2018
Tweet - "Even in the small percentage of docs made available to the Judiciary Comm thru the partisan process led by Kavanaugh's former deputy, we have found info raising serious concerns regarding Judge Kavanaugh's '06 noms hearing, where we believe he misled the Senate #ReleasetheRecords"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 16, 2018
Tweet - "Take note: Republicans are trying to ignore the plain words of what Judge Kavanaugh said under oath in 2006: "I was not involved and am not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants." This statement covers his time as WH Staff Secretary."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 16, 2018
Tweet - "Don't be fooled: Judge Kavanaugh's record is being scrubbed by a GOP lawyer who was Kavanaugh's WH Deputy, who is picking & choosing which Kavanaugh docs to share. Not transparent, not objective, & not part of the non-partisan National Archives process."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Letter to Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee - Feinstein, Leahy, Durbin, To Chairman Grassley: Documents Indicate That Kavanaugh Misled Senate; Make Them Public
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "Completely unprecedented. How can Republicans say this is a fair, objective, or transparent process before a confirmation hearing for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 14, 2018
Tweet - "99% of Justice Kagan's White House records were made public before her confirmation hearing. Approximately 1% of Judge Kavanaugh's White House records have been made public, and his hearing is scheduled in a few short weeks. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 14, 2018
Tweet - "Would #SCOTUS nominee Judge Kavanaugh give a fair shake to #Dreamers and millions of other immigrants punished by the Trump Administration's cruel and thoughtless policies? Civil and human rights hang in the balance. #WhatsAtStake"
