      Sen. Harris is up. She asks if he's discussed Mueller with anyone? Then, she asks specifically about the Kasowitz firm. Kavanaugh: "I'm not remembering."

      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: "Have you had any discussion with anyone ever about Bob Mueller or his investigation?" Kavanaugh: "I've talked to fellow judges." H: "Anyone else?" K: "The fact that it's ongoing, it's in the news, yes."

      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.

      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.

          Kavanaugh’s reaction alone raises suspicions. Evasive, appears to be deliberately misunderstanding.

          If true, he cannot be confirmed. A president under federal investigation for treason should not be appointing judges in the first place, but certainly not when that judge is chatting with that president's lawyers.

          His twitchy response only bolsters that suspicion. If I were on a jury and I saw that exchange, I would be convinced that something untoward happened — he was as uncomfortable as a testicle caught in a zipper.

          I feel silly for asking but why is it an issue if he did speak to someone? I assume bc it would imply bias. Or something else?

          It's a well set trap. If he admits now in the hearing he did, he potentially conflicts himself out of any future hearing.

          I'm finding Kavanaugh's answers to several questions oddly transparent in an opaque sort of way! The roundabout, doublespeak way in which he answers or does not provide answers is very telling.
