      Lee raises an objection. Says law firms have lots of people at them — and then is interrupted by a protester — but then continues to say there's a lot of people at firms.

      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 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 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?

          Update on that Harris line of questioning about whether Kavanaugh talked w/ a Kasowitz firm lawyer about Mueller's investigation. —> A Democratic aide tells me that they "have reason to believe" that a conversation happened and they "are continuing to pursue it."

          So, it sure sounds like the reason why that line of questioning didn't go any further tonight is that they couldn't take it any further, or at least weren't ready to do so.
