Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday constructed a box fort in their august, high-ceilinged committee room, with 167 boxes labeled “KAVANAUGH FILES” stacked together. Each box, they said, could contain about 6,000 pieces of paper, but they were all empty—as North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis clarified, the real Kavanaugh files will be released digitally by the National Archives. The purpose of this arrangement was to shoot down Democratic talking points in an escalating battle over how many records from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s two White House stints should be made available prior to his confirmation hearings.
