McCaskill Will Vote Against Kavanaugh

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said that she will vote against federal appellate judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Springfield News Leader reports.

She cited “dark money” in politics as the main reason for her opposition.

Said McCaskill:  “I have been thorough in examining Judge Kavanaugh’s record. And while the recent allegations against him are troubling and deserve a thorough and fair examination by the Senate Judiciary Committee, my decision is not based on those allegations but rather on his positions on several key issues, most importantly the avalanche of dark, anonymous money that is crushing our democracy.”
