Sen. Schumer Calls for Delay of Kavanaugh Hearing: ‘He Could Soon Be, Effectively, a Juror in a Case Involving the President Himself’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "It’s a game changer. It should be. A president identified as an unindicted co-conspirator of a federal crime, an accusation made not by a political enemy, but by the closest of his own confidants, is on the verge of making a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, a court that may some day soon determine the extent of the President's legal jeopardy. In my view, the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately pause the consideration of the Kavanaugh nomination. The majority of the Senate has still not seen the bulk of Judge Kavanaugh's record. At the very least, the very least, it is seemly — it is unseemly for the president of the United States to be picking a Supreme Court justice who could soon be effectively a juror in a case involving the President himself. In light of these facts, I believe Chairman Grassley has scheduled a hearing for Judge Kavanaugh too soon and I am calling on him to delay the hearing."
