      Sasse giving a very lofty speech about the diminished role of congress... not to set up a confrontation with Trump, but to attack the delegation of regulatory authority to the agencies (which he calls a 4th branch of govt, not part of the exec). It's been a journey.

      Blumenthal is focused on Trump's attacks on the rule of law and law enforcement — and the role of the judiciary in standing up to such attacks.

      Blumenthal says the 42K pages of documents were not uploaded to the software being used by both parties until 6:45a this morning, so he doesn't know how the majority staff reviewed them last night.

      After continual denial from Grassley to consider Blumenthal's motion to adjourn and Blumenthal's appeal of the decision of the chair, Blumenthal says, "I will proceed, under protest."

      Cornyn questions whether people are taking too much time. Grassley basically says, yes, but that he hadn't stopped it before, so he won't now: "Either you run the committee or the committee runs you, and I let the committee run me this time."

      Booker opened his opening with a bit more fight on documents, but then pivoted to this —>https://twitter.com/zoetillman/status/1037058379007643654?s=21 …

      Booker notes that Kavanaugh was a late addition to Trump's #SCOTUS shortlist (added in November), saying it only happened after the special counsel investigation was well underway, and that Kavanaugh has written about limiting the ability to prosecute a sitting president

          Blatt introduces herself as a liberal Democrat, whose hero is Ginsburg, who voted for Clinton and Obama, and who says she wishes Feinstein and not Grassley was chairing the hearing. Nonetheless, she says she's here to support Kavanaugh's nomination.
