                     Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh

  Madam President, I would like to say one thing about another 
nomination issue. I understand that so far, no Senate Democrat has met 
with Judge Kavanaugh. They are apparently awaiting their marching 
orders from the minority leader. Well, the American people elected each 
one of those Democratic Senators to represent them, not the minority 
leader. And when Senate Democrats have largely already made up their 
minds to vote against Judge Kavanaugh and none of them have even met 
with him, their demand for a paper chase beyond relevant material 
sounds more and more like a demand for a taxpayer-funded fishing 
expedition.
