Even as the Senate continues to work through FY2019 spending bills this week, a process that has been noticeable in its bipartisanship so far, the partisan fights are expected to return in full force the day after Labor Day, when the Judiciary Committee is scheduled to start the confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court nomination. The hearings are expected to take multiple days and the goal of the Senate Republican leadership is to get the nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, confirmed before the November elections.
