Time and again last week, as the excruciating drama surrounding the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh unfolded before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the phrase "due process" was batted around so much, and with such abandon, that it was in danger of looking like the remnants of pinata after a Beltway prep school's Cinco de Mayo bash. Yes, Kavanaugh deserved to have his say after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford levied an accusation of sexual assault at a high school drinking party in suburban Washington D.C. more than three decades ago.
President Trump on Monday labeled Democrats the "party of crime" and urged voters to stop them in next month's midterm elections. He tore into Democrats for supporting higher taxes, open borders and lawlessness, singling out Senate Democrats for their staunch opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake traveled to the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire on Monday to call for a new kind of politics that rejects the "destructive partisan tribalism" that has infected Washington and prevented elected leaders from tackling the nation's biggest problems. The visit came several days after Mr. Flake played a central role in the kerfuffle over Brett M. Kavanaugh 's nomination to the Supreme Court, making him a target of criticism from activists on the right and the left.
Democrats are raising new questions about the truthfulness of Brett Kavanaugh's sworn testimony to the Senate, shifting tactics against President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee as they await the results of the FBI's background investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democrats' leader from New York, accused Kavanaugh of delivering a "partisan screed" during the Judiciary Committee hearing last week.
Who is leading the race for Colorado's most competitive seat in the U.S. House of Representatives depends on whom you ask. Democrat Jason Crow is either significantly ahead or in a dead heat with Republican Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, according to two new polls of voters conducted in mid-September in the 6th Congressional District.
President Donald Trump is back in Tennessee, trying to push U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn's Senate bid over the finish line. Trump headlined a high-dollar, closed-door fundraiser for Blackburn in Johnson City before appearing at a packed rally at the Freedom Hall Civic Center.
Republicans are eagerly calling for an investigation who leaked Christine Blasey Ford's letter that accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, focusing particularly on Sen. Dianne Feinstein. But there's a big problem - regardless of who leaked the letter, it isn't a crime, or even a violation of Senate rules.
A large crowd gathered on Boston City Hall Plaza Oct. 1, 2018 to protest the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice. GOP Sen. Jeff Flake was also speaking at a nearby event.
Decrying the "trauma" inflicted upon his Supreme Court nominee by allegations of sexual assault, President Donald Trump stressed on Monday an FBI investigation into the accusations should be thorough but swift. "We don't want to go on a witch hunt, do we?" Trump asked toward the end of a lengthy and free-wheeling press availability in the Rose Garden that revealed his frustrations at the drawn-out process.
California now has the strongest net neutrality rules in the nation, after Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill during a last-minute flurry of bill signings and vetoes Sunday. A little over an hour after the announcement, the Department of Justice sued the state.
California neglected maintenance of its highway and road network for decades. But last year, the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown finally enacted a stiff increase in gas taxes and automotive fees to catch up, even though polls indicated that most Californians didn't want to pay more.
North Dakota is going ahead with requiring residents to provide a street address in order to vote on Election Day, even though some American Indian tribes have argued in federal court that they sometimes aren't assigned on reservations. Secretary of State Al Jaeger's office notified the state's five tribes by email late Friday of North Dakota voter ID requirements.
An ex-girlfriend's allegation that Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison once physically abused her could not be substantiated because she refused to provide video she said she had of the incident, an attorney hired to investigate the claims concluded in a draft report obtained Monday by The Associated Press. The report was compiled by Susan Ellingstad, a lawyer hired by Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to investigate the allegation against the Democratic congressman.
As the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Senate floor, it seems that Democrats and left-wing pundits may very well get what they've been asking for: an investigation by the FBI into the accusations of sexual assault against the nominee. But recent history casts doubt on whether a finding in Kavanaugh's favor would make a difference in the minds of Democrats who decided - long before there was any mention of the allegation - that Kavanaugh was unfit to serve on the Supreme Court.

The battle over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court is no longer only about Kavanaugh's fitness to hold a lifetime appointment to the highest court.
