Following two days of hearings, Supreme Court candidate has yet to swing and hit a home run with the bases loaded. He has had some softballs thrown at him as well as curves and hard balls but has chosen not to swing, yet. However, some say the baseball coach they call K may hit a home run today.

Brett Michael Kavanaugh is an American lawyer who serves as a US circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit under Merrick B. Garland, who President Obama nominated to the Supreme Court, described as one of America’s sharpest legal minds, but failed to have hearings after Trump urged delay, delay, delay and Mitch McConnell did as he was ordered. However, when the table was turned the Senate majority leader either forgot what he had done or ignored it.

SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh returns to the Senate Judiciary Committee after he fielded questions on high-profile issues ranging from abortion to gun control to presidential power. He is an appeals court judge nominated for the Supreme Court by President Donald Trump and has so far refused to say whether a president must respond to a subpoena, a question that could come before the Supreme Court based on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Protests and outbursts have resulted in multiple arrests prompting Capitol Hill police to temporarily close off the hearing from additional spectators.
