Probably sooner than we expected. It's likely pro-life groups have confirmed his fidelity to justice for the unborn in private. His hearing will last 3 to 4 days and it could be on Sept. 8th that the final vote will take place. Republicans have the narrow majority required and at least a handful of Dems are expected to swing, as they did for Gorsuch. Gorsuch has been good in his time of close to 1 1/2 years on the Court, voting with Justice Clarence Thomas on most issues.

Will Kavanaugh be something like Gorsuch 2.0? Thoughts?

"Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearings will start on Sept. 4 and last between three and four days, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced on Friday.

That scheduling tees up the GOP to meet its goal of getting President Donald Trump's pick seated on the high court by the time its term begins in early October, barring unforeseen obstacles or a breakthrough by Democrats who are pushing to derail Kavanaugh's confirmation.

The Supreme Court battle so far has focused on documents related to Kavanaugh's five years in the George W. Bush White House. Democrats have excoriated the GOP for declining to seek records from the nominee's time as Bush's staff secretary and condemned the Republican decision to rely on a Bush-driven review process for the early round of vetting, while the majority party hails the vast scope of documents that are set for release.

Grassley said earlier this month that he anticipates being able to complete Kavanaugh's consideration by the Judiciary panel within about two weeks after the close of the confirmation hearings, which will feature questioning of the nominee beginning on Sept. 5. After the Judiciary panel clears Kavanaugh, Grassley added, the nomination is expected to reach the Senate floor within days.

"At this current pace, we have plenty of time to review the rest of emails and other records that we will receive from President Bush and the National Archives," Grassley said in a Friday statement setting the hearing dates. "It's time for the American people to hear directly from Judge Kavanaugh at his public hearing."
Bible verses on walking blamelessly with God, after being forgiven from our former sins. Some verses here: https://dailyverses.net/blameless

"[2] He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:[3] He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.(Psalm 14)

"[2] For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man."(James 3)

"[14] And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations; [15] That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world." (Phil 2:14-15)

Sept 8 is the Nativity of the Theotokos.  A rosary novena for this intention might be in order.

Yes, wonderful idea. May God grant the Blessed Mother's Birthday marks the birth of a new era for America. Let's hope Kavanaugh is Her choice now and if so is confirmed without democratic delays. We can even say two 9 day Rosary novenas, one for the petition and one for thanksgiving, just about before September 8th if we start today.
