In this July 19, 2018, photo, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh glances at reporters during a meeting with Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., on Capitol Hill in Washington.

And itâs also part of the problem in getting him confirmed by the Senate. Democrats want to see the conservative appellate court judgeâs lengthy paper trail before they even start casting their votes. The paper chase is turning the vetting process into a political strategy ahead of the November election.
