WATCH LIVE: Senate holds confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday kicked off its confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh is expected to ultimately get confirmed with a Republican controlled Senate, despite an expected partisan gauntlet.

However, Democrats are expected launch an intense barrage of questions for the 53-year-old judge, zeroing in on Kavanaugh’s stance on Roe v. Wade, the Affordable Care Act and criminal investigations on sitting presidents.
