      K: "I told the truth about that. My name is not in the reports." Durbin asks if K was involved in the Dec. 2005 torture ban bill signing. "I can't recall what I said," Kavanaugh said, adding that there was much discussion within the White House.

      Durbin asks about Kavanaugh's Garza dissent — about the undocumented minor who was seeking an abortion. Kavanaugh says SCOTUS parental consent cases are the most analogous cases. Durbin says that Kavanaugh is ignoring the judicial bypass provision, which she had done.

      Kavanaugh reads a line from Casey: "Minors benefit from consultation about abortion." Durbin says that Kavanaugh is adding to the requirements of Texas law.
