Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley vowed late Monday that he wouldn’t allow Democrats to stall the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by making unprecedented demands for documents on his record in the White House.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Grassley said Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York have already decided to oppose Kavanaugh anyway. That makes their demands for millions of pages of documents from his time in the Bush White House a move aimed at stalling a nominee they will never support.
