    “Regardless of what you say to Sen. Don McGahn [sic], we’re not suspending this hearing,” Chuck Grassley said, interrupting Sen. Dick Durbin who challenged Brett Kavanaugh to ask to suspend the nomination process until the FBI completes an investigation.pic.twitter.com/M4sexY5gCH

        For the record: This replaces a deleted tweet to include "[sic]" for clarification. Don McGahn is White House Counsel, not a senator.

        Why does Kavanaugh think the Senators have to first answer the questions asked of him? Every time the blackout drinking come up he is cagey and belligerent.

        Replying to @JulesLmb @politico

        No, when asked directly, right after his opening statement, Kavanaugh said he has never blacked out. In fact he said he’s fallen asleep after drinking but not blacked out. Asked & Answered! Move on!!!

        No the question was if he’d PASSED out, not if he’d blacked out. Said he’d ‘fallen asleep’ which is a euphemism for passing out. A black out is not the same.

        Okay. Either way though. The semantics was not the point.

        The point is his hedging with semantics.

        All i see is the democrats keep trying to force kavanaugh to ask the FBI to open it again. There doing that cause they have tried asking the FBI but they said as far as there concerned its closed cause they couldnt find anything. Im not dem or rep just reacting to what im watchin

        He has said over and over again that he welcomes anything the committee wants to do! HE can’t order an investigation! If the committee wants one then let them order one! Again, asked and answered! Move on! #KavanaughConfirmationHearing #kavenaughYES #KavanaughConfirmation

        We expected a hearing, but all I've seen is Dem Senators asking the pertinent questions while the GOP Senators seem to be on Kavanaugh's defense team.
