      Kavanaugh, who previously said that all who allege sexual assault deserve to be heard, says now, looking at the Democrats: "Thanks to what some of you on this side of the committee have unleashed, I may never be able to teach again."

      Leahy asks about the character with a name like Kavanaugh's name, and asks if it is describing him. Kavanaugh dissembles, and then accuses Leahy of making fun of a person with an addiction. Leahy asks again. Kavanaugh: "You'd have to ask him."

      Durbin asks Kavanaugh to "turn to Don McGahn" and ask him to get the FBI to investigate. Grassley lashes out: "We're here because people wanted to be heard," adding that he would not stop the hearing. Durbin keeps pressing. At one point, there's a stand-off; Kavanaugh demurs.

          In light of Kavanaugh's answers about the yearbook — which he dismisses as irrelevant, but which are about the time in question — I don't see how Mark Judge and others can be not called before the committee to discuss these and other answers.
