      Prompted by Orrin Hatch, Kavanaugh now shilling for @FedSoc, which he’s a longtime member of and had a hand in putting him on Trump’s radar. Here’s a long feature from @JeffreyToobin on Leonard Leo, who has an outsize influence on #SCOTUS nominees.https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/17/the-conservative-pipeline-to-the-supreme-court …

      Kavanaugh here addresses Kamala Harris' suggestion last night that he may have had improper discussions with Trump lawyers about the Russia investigation.https://twitter.com/McCormackJohn/status/1037720144766808064 …

      Kavanaugh: "I haven't had any inappropriate conversations about that [Mueller] investigation with anyone. I've never given anyone any hints, forecasts, previews--nothing--about my view as a judge or how I would rule as a judge on that or anything related to that."

      Patrick Leahy now questioning Kavanaugh in a very in-the-weeds discussion about whether he received stolen Dem emails about judicial politics during his time in the Bush admin. Kavanaugh has declared innocence. Here's a distillation of that controversy:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/us/politics/kavanaugh-leahy-bush-disputes.html …

      Lol, Lindsay Graham asking Brett Kavanaugh about whether a right to abortion is explicitly in the Constitution. He's trying to help him, but Kav is dodging and won't answer. "The liberty clause refers to liberty," he says, but won't elaborate. Says he "wants to be very careful."

      Back from break. Dick Durbin of Illinois offers a lengthy, open-ended question about the power of the presidency during the age of Donald Trump. There was a lot of that yesterday — with implications for administrative law and the Mueller investigation.http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/09/kavanaugh-devotion-presidential-power.html …

      "No one is above the law in the United States of America," Kavanaugh tells Utah's Mike Lee, who has been trying to take the sting out of several lines of questioning from Democrats. Kav suggests presidents may be properly investigated under the current special counsel system.

      Along the same lines: Kavanaugh reiterates he's never taken a constitutional position on whether a president can be indicted — that the legal debate that's really raging is not about presidential immunity from charges, but the timing of when the charges can happen. Lunch break.

      Back from lunch. Rhode Island's Sheldon Whitehouse now up: He's asking Kavanaugh about his being a confidential source for stories relating to the Kenneth Starr investigation. He's asked if he'd release reporters from their anonymous sourcing obligations. He defers to Starr.

      Couple of typos in latest chart from Whitehouse, who's asking whether Kav should recuse from Trump-related criminal controversies. What possible greater influence could there be than being appointed to a seat by a president under investigation? Kav says inappropriate to answer.pic.twitter.com/iJht400y5A
