Harris really seemed to be grandstanding. I don't want this guy confirmed, but totally understood his viewpoint to her attempts to get him to admit to something he really wasn't sure of.

So they're releasing (confidential) documents after the hearing started?

It’s Fox News, so we should wait for a separate confirmation but it sounds like the markings were changed to allow public disclosure vs committee only per direct request from Bookers office. So if that’s what you meant, yes.

Fox News wrote:“We cleared the documents last night shortly after Senator Booker’s staff asked us to,” said Bill Burck, a lawyer for Bush involved in the release of documents. “We were surprised to learn about Senator Booker’s histrionics this morning because we had already told him he could use the documents publicly."
"Apparently, some just wanted to break the rules and make a scene, but didn’t check their email," a spokesman for committee Republicans said in a statement. The committee posted the same documents.
Huh. It's almost like they're
manufacturing outrage, or engaging in
cheap political theater.

“settled law” not “settled law” what relevance do these things have when vetting the single individual holding the swing vote that will dramatically fundamentally alter the future biological course of hundreds of millions of people

I seriously doubt Kavanaugh cares about any of this. It's a foregone conclusion that he will be confirmed, regardless of what they dig up (which up to this point has been nothing).

Kavanaugh says he never received documents that even **appeared** to have been drafted or prepared by Democratic staff. Then documents are leaked showing he discussed receiving them, that they were flatly labeled as such, and that he was aware. He changes his story to “I thought it was ok.”
Kavanaugh says he was not in any way involved in Bill Pryor’s nomination, then documents leak showing he was directly involved.
Kavanaugh to the panel: R v W is settled. Kavanaugh in documents: not really tho lol.
Kavanaugh is then, after all of this, asked a question about another sensitive topic, and gives an answer (basically “I’m happy to be reminded what I have said”) that is more or less “tell me what you know I have said first so I don’t get caught in a lie.” He also spent almost all of the afternoon refusing to answer questions, which was a big shift from before the doc dump started.
I do agree with Burt that there’s no stopping his approval though.

You forgot the time he lied during his background investigation when he failed to disclose that in 2004 he did a rolling stop leaving Hollywood Video with a used Seabiscut DVD in hand

Oh
no.
Laugh all you want, this is going to have serious long term effects on how officials communicate.
That's the same thing they said after the first wikileaks release of the diplomatic cables. Didn't happen.
