More than two dozen witnesses are scheduled to testify either for or in opposition to Brett Kavanaugh, the Trump administration’s nominee to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a list the Senate Judiciary Committee released Thursday.
Prominent Washington appellate advocates from big firms will make appearances starting this week in support of Kavanaugh, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit since 2006. He will also win support from former law clerks, a former student and one of his Yale Law School roommates.
