Portman: I Don’t Think Kavanaugh Will Have a Hard Time Getting Confirmed But there Will Be a Real Fight

RUSH EXCERPT:

PORTMAN: "I think he’s a great pick. I don’t think he will have a hard time getting confirmed. It will be a fight here. A partisan fight. It won’t be about his qualifications. Clearly qualified. His intellectual brilliance. Clearly a smart guy. It’s not about his record. He’s a fair and impartial guy. It’s partisan. Even before he’s picked, the other side can’t support him and they don’t know who he is yet. I think we’ll have a fair hearing that he has a chance to be properly vetted. I think people will like him. I know the guy, Neil. I’ve known him over 15 years. I know his wife. They served in the Bush administration with me. Really fine people."
