      Leahy's questions to Kavanaugh about his exchanges with the Republican staffer who stole Dem emails suggests Leahy has the goods on Kavanaugh here. This is solid prosecutorial questioning happening here

      It is pretty apparent based on Leahy's questions that Kavanaugh was in possession of stolen emails that he used to shepherd Bush judicial nominees so that's something

      Kavanaugh now jumps into the fray to say his testimony is 100% accurate on this point That shuts Grassley up. Leahy not so much. Leahy says there is evidence to suggest Kavanaugh had stolen emails and new it, hints there's more proof in the committee confidential documents

      This is a super fine line Leahy is walking here because the penalty for breaking confidentiality can be expulsion from the Senate

          The point Graham is making is that presidents appoint judges who share their philosophy. He's right. He's also confirming Kavanaugh is the fifth vote to kill/gut Roe and upend most the New Deal

          Graham asks the dumbest question yet which is "can you and four other judges just decide to overturn Roe v Wade" The point he's making is that there needs to be litigation in the pipeline. Update: There are at least 13 cases right now in that pipeline!
