"I have concerns that Judge Kavanaugh defended the PATRIOT Act instead of Montanans' privacy. I have concerns about his support for more dark money in politics. I have concerns about who he believes is in charge of making personal health decisions. And I have deep concerns about the allegations of sexual assault against Judge Kavanaugh. Unfortunately, Judge Kavanaugh couldn't find time to discuss these concerns with me in person, so the only information I have is from what he said in his hearings. I'll be voting against him." Judge Kavanaugh helped the Bush Administration craft a program of mass domestic surveillance. He ruled in favor of increased government surveillance under the PATRIOT Act in Klayman v. Obama. Tester requested a meeting with Judge Kavanaugh numerous times, but the White House refused to commit to a specific date and time. Tester received thousands of emails and calls from Montanans about Judge Kavanaugh, a majority of which were opposed to his nomination. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
