Senate Democrats: Kavanaugh confirmation is ‘illegitimate’ without his full environmental record – ThinkProgress
'Ten Democratic Senators have written to Charles Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, demanding the release of documents showing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s environmental record. '
'A battle has been brewing between Democrats and Republicans over whether documents from Kavanaugh’s time in the White House should be released. '
'Kavanaugh is known to take a more narrow interpretation of what environmental protections the federal government can implement. '
'On August 10, 25 environmental groups signed a letter opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination, saying he would “undermine efforts” to protect human health and the environment. '
'Legal experts warned at the time that the news meant “nothing good” for the future of environmental protection and climate action. '
