Radical U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration last week in a quixotic effort to derail the Kavanaugh nomination.
Now, he’s taking chasing windmills to another level.
Last week, I sued @realDonaldTrump & @senatemajldr to stop the unconstitutional Kavanaugh confirmation process. Today I filed a motion for a restraining order against Trump and McConnell to force immediate disclosure of the Kavanaugh record they’ve been working so hard to hide.

Oregon Public Broadcasting reports:
Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley filed an emergency motion late Tuesday to compel President Donald Trump to release Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s full record ahead of a Senate confirmation vote.
Merkley said Trump has withheld thousands of pages of documents from Kavanaugh’s record under “presidential privilege.”
The motion asks the court to force Trump to release those records, which Merkley says the Senate has a “constitutional responsibility” to review.
The Senate is expected to vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation shortly.
