Senate Democratic Leader Schumer has objected to the Judiciary Committee meeting while the Senate is in session
Under the rules, the committee can only meet for 2 more hours if consent is not granted for a panel to hold a hearing - to avoid that, McConnell will adjourn the Senate in the next 10-15 minutes
Back in the hearing, Kavanaugh was asked about his 'dirtiest' job - he said he worked construction for one summer. No one has asked about his Congressional internship as yet

While the Kavanaugh hearing is politically-charged, a House hearing starting soon with the Twitter CEO may have more fireworks this afternoon
I haven't been keeping track, but Kavanaugh has mentioned U.S. v Nixon an awful lot today

In a photo op, the President says the new book from Bob Woodward "was put out to interfere in my opinion at this time with the Kavanaugh hearings"
Kavanaugh gets into a little word salad mode when pressed by Sen Amy Klobuchar D-MN about his law review article on not investigating Presidents
Kavanaugh says he was just offering up ideas to the Congress in his Minnesota Law review article at minnesotalawreview.org/wp-content/upl…
In that article, Kavanaugh said Congress should think about not allowing investigations of Presidents while in office 
Pressed by Klobuchar, Kavanaugh said: "I did not take a position" - but a lot of Democrats see something much different
For my ham radio friends, Kavanaugh just referenced his American Radio Relay League opinion dealing with BPL caselaw.findlaw.com/us-dc-circuit/…

Kavanaugh doesn't answer. Sen Mike Lee R-UT interrupts Harris. Interesting moment here. K: "I don't know everyone who works at that law firm, Senator"
Kavanaugh wanted to know who Harris was talking about - she wouldn't say, and then moved on. Odd moment.
The hearing is still going, as is my live blog of the Kavanaugh proceedings jamiedupree.blog.ajc.com/2018/09/05/liv…
