when lisa blatt joined condoleezza rice and me in introducing brett kavanaugh before the committee, she said he is unquestionably qualified by his extraordinary intellect, experience, and temperament. all this seems to have been lost in the past couple of weeks. i also know that brett kavanaugh is highly qualified to serve on the supreme court. in fact, frankly, i have heard that from a number of my democratic colleagues who are quick to say they don't support him for other reasons, but they don't question his legal experience and his qualifications. and you really can't. the american bar association, not known for being very friendly to conservatives, has given brett kavanaugh its highest rating, unanimously. i know that in more than 20 hours of testimony -- in fact, i think it was 32 hours of testimony before the judiciary committee, he showed an encyclopedic knowledge of the constitution of supreme court cases and appreciation for supreme court precedent and an overall impressive grasp of the law. only a couple of weeks ago, he had successfully navigated the arduous process of meetin
