https://politicalwire.com/2018/08/02/kavanaugh-documents-wont-be-ready-until-october/"SNIP..........
The National Archives said it wont be able to produce the full cache of documents requested by Senate Republicans on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until the end of October, casting doubt on whether he can be confirmed by the midterm elections this fall, the Washington Post reports.
Gary Stern, the Archives general counsel, told Senate Judiciary Committee Charles Grassley (R-IA) in a letter that the records he has requested could total more than 900,000 pages. Grassley, backed by other Senate Republicans, asked for all documents from Kavanaughs tenure in the George W. Bush White House as an associate White House counsel.
Roll Call: That could force Grassley and Senate Republicans to either slow down the confirmation process or curtail the amount of records they seek from Kavanaughs time in the White House.

in order to have a rational process.

(15,173 posts)6. These records that Grassley requested do not include the White House stuff
Senate Republicans have decided that nobody needs to see any of Kavanaugh's writings while he worked for Dubyah.
Even so, it would be lovely to make Mr. Turtle have to wait to call the vote until AFTER the mid-terms.
