Judge Kavanaugh begins his testimony this week before the Senate Judiciary Committee as he seeks confirmation to the Supreme Court. The hearing is expected to last all week, and senators will no doubt grill Kavanaugh on executive power, abortion rights, the Affordable Care Act, corporate power, and the environment.
After more than two decades as a Washington lawyer and judge, Kavanaugh has an extremely long paper trail (and some are unhappy about the slow pace at which many of those documents have been publicly released).
Below are some key Kavanaugh documents to help you stay informed during the confirmation process. And be sure to follow Circuit Breaker on Twitter @DCCircuitBreak for continuous coverage of confirmation week.
