Last Friday, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, requested a trove of records from the George W. Bush Presidential Library pertaining to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time in the administration. Grassley made the request to National Archives staff unilaterally, after failing to reach an agreement with his committee counterpart, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, on which records they would need to see. Grassley’s move was an early turning point in the Kavanaugh confirmation process, abruptly ending the make-believe period of bipartisan cooperation and beginning a dogfight over paper.
