The Judiciary Committee met this morning and postponed a vote on the Kavanaugh nomination to the D.C. Circuit. Committee Chairman Arlen Specter announced that he would allow another hearing for Kavanaugh, as the committee’s Democrats had requested. A new hearing is warranted, so that’s a positive development. This nomination is likely to move quickly after that, however: the hearing will be next Tuesday, May 9, with the committee vote just two days later.
