Senate Republican leadership criticized Senate Democrats’ role in attempting to stall the confirmation process for Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Amid a firestorm of protests on Capitol Hill on Monday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., opened the Senate confirming that a hearing will take place on Thursday to hear from the judge and Christine Blasey Ford, but that a vote in the chamber would also happen soon.
