I used to know Brett Kavanaugh pretty well from my days as a conservative. Anyone who thinks he’ll be an independent and fair judge is sorely mistaken—he’ll work for the Republican party, not the American people. The Senate should vote no.

Senator Hatch is wrong about role of FBI in judicial nominations. The FBI conducted numerous on Anita Hill's allegations. I know because Hatch staff selectively leaked portions of the FBI file 2 me in effort to discredit Hill. FBI should similarly investigate Ford's allegations.
