Arrington on Senate's Procedural Motion for Kavanaugh Vote

Washington, DC, October 5, 2018
Today Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) released the following statement after the Senate’s procedural motion to advance Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to a final vote. “Judge Kavanaugh has been more thoroughly vetted than any Supreme Court Justice nominee in recent history, and I am pleased that the Senate is moving forward with his confirmation. While the nature of the allegations were serious, they all remain completely unsubstantiated and uncorroborated.  I am relieved that we still have a majority of Senators who believe in due process and the presumption of innocence.  “The personal attacks by some have reached an all-time low and, unfortunately, Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford were both victims of this process. Judge Kavanaugh is eminently qualified, has unimpeachable character, and will appropriately render decisions based on the Constitution and Rule of Law - not on a political or policy agenda.”
