Kavanaugh’s Public Testimony Wraps Up After Two 12-Plus Hour Days Of Questioning

Some questions:

1. Why 12+ hours days? Is the GOP really sweating over making this process 1 or 2 days shorter? Even if Dems storm the Senate in the midterms, power won’t change hands for 3 months.
2. What is the format of the closed session? Do they just continue to pepper Kavanaugh with questions?
3. I see there will be witness testimony Friday. Are the closed-door session and that day of witnesses the only remaining phases of the confirmation process?
4. Do we know who the witnesses are? Can the Committee issue subpoenas? Is it usually the case that witnesses are just folks who have agreed to give a positive recommendation, or can we expect to see people called to corroborate or challenge Kavanaugh’s previous testimony?
5. Is the closed-door session closed to the press, or just the rest of the Senate? How will the public find out about the proceedings? Could an unscrupulous Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee conceal damaging revelations that surface during the closed session?
6. Will those witnesses testify before the full Senate, or just the Judiciary Committee?
7. When are votes cast? Are there two rounds of votes: one in the Judiciary Committee and then with all members, or is there just one vote?
8. Those kids are on my lawn again! There ought to be a law!!!1!

ETA: I added some questions and re-ordered them. Apologies to any early-birds that run afoul of these uncertain times.

Just listened to a snippet, talk like that to a cop after he pulls you over and you’re taking a trip with him.

Dream on, as if Assley gives a shit what any of us peons think. We are just pawns in their classy rich man game of thrones.
