https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/13/politics/kavanaugh-nomination-judiciary-committee/index.html?utm_source=twCNNp&utm_content=2018-09-13T15%3A45%3A06&utm_term=image&utm_medium=socialThe Senate Judiciary Committee's vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been delayed until next week.
In a vote on party lines, the committee voted on Thursday, 11-10, to set the vote on Kavanaugh's nomination for September 20. The move by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, to hold over the nomination tracks with committee practice, and continues the Republican push forward to have Kavanaugh confirmed by the full Senate the last week of September.
But what is usually a quick procedural process turned into another opportunity for the panel's Democrats to voice their displeasure -- and disdain -- for a process that has drawn criticism as unfair for weeks.
