Lee says Booker was referring to "committee confidential" documents. Booker counters that the process is "rigged" b/c there's no reason an email about racial profiling should be comte confid. Lee says he agrees; doesn't know why it was marked comte confid.

Paging the staff of Sen.
@KamalaHarris. I'd sure like to know what all of that was about. Thanks.Show this thread -
NOTE: Today's hearing began 12 hours ago.

Harris asks about Griswold and Eisenstadt. He talks about the court and Pierce and Meyer. She says she's asking what he thinks. He continues talking about the cases. Eventually: "I think Justice White's concurrence is a persuasive opinion. ... I have no quarrel with it."

Then, on a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy, he demurs, going back to his unwillingness to answer that. Harris then asks if there are any laws that give the gov't power to make decisions about a male body? He says he can't think of any.

Tillis: "Are you Judge Kozinski?" So, you can see where this is at.
Show this thread -
Tillis is ignoring all of the other work that Kavanaugh and Kozinski did together since, including working to vet Kennedy's clerks and the fact that Kozinski introduced Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearing. He then said that Democrats should be asking Paul Watford questions.

Tillis is now asking about opinions when Kavanaugh ruled in ways he didn’t like: for Hamdan, for Emily’s List, against the RNC, against Sec. Rice ...
Show this thread -
Tillis says that some people are concerned about Kavanaugh’s views on LGBT issues but says that Kavanaugh while in the White House counsel’s office ... once attended a meeting to talk to Log Cabin Republicans. So, OK?
