Senate Republicans have a hard time making up their minds when it comes to the proper length and/or volume of documents necessary to do their jobs:
Senate Judiciary ranking member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) called the number of documents released inadequate and reiterated his concern that the committee will not have enough time to pore over the information before Kagan’s hearings.
“The batch of documents received today represent less than a third of the 160,000 pages of material we have been told exist from Elena Kagan’s time as a senior policy aide to President Clinton. We are now a mere 23 days away from the hearing and the committee still has yet to receive over 100,000 pages of documents,” Sessions said in a statement.
What Sen. Sessions is really after is the Goldilocks level of data: the Healthcare bill was too much, the 45,000 pages on Kagan are not enough, but 160,000 pages would be just right. Maybe Sen. Sessions is hoping that in those additional 115,000 pages, he will find the answers to burning questions like whether or not Kagan is a lesbian, or why she deigns to cross her legs. Because we absolutely have to get to the bottom of that.
