Other states across the country, nonetheless, are attempting to enact their own voter identification laws leading up to November’s midterm elections.
An angry Judge Brett Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee late last week: “This confirmation process has become a national disgrace. The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced advise and consent with search and destroy.”
