Chairing a hearing this morning at 10:00 am in @senjudiciary on “Red Flag Laws: Examining Guidelines for State Action”

WATCH ONLINE:
judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/red-f…
@senjudiciary In March 2018, the Trump Administration called on every state to enact Extreme Risk Protection Orders.

President Trump also directed @TheJusticeDept to provide technical assistance to states – at their request – regarding establishing and implementing ERPO's
@senjudiciary @TheJusticeDept Today’s hearing will focus on the possibility of incentivizing states to create their own Red Flag laws – which would be unique to their states.

It is the start of a discussion. It is a learning opportunity for us all.

I believe Acting Secretary of Defense Shanahan is a logical choice to become the next Secretary of Defense. He has demonstrated to me his detailed understanding that a strong, modern, and well-trained military is essential in a dangerous and complex world.
I hope and expect that he will advocate for defense policies that lead from the front, not from behind. I also hope and expect he will make it clear to America’s adversaries that we mean what we say, and that our allies see us as a reliable partner.
I expect to support his nomination and look forward to his confirmation hearing.

I completely support President @realDonaldTrump’s approach in trade negotiations with China. This is the last, best chance for America and the world to get China to play by the rules.
For years, China has been cheating on intellectual property, currency manipulation, and state-owned enterprises.
When it comes to China, they will never change their behavior until someone stands up to them. I’m proud of President Trump’s willingness to work with China, but most importantly, to stand up to China.

The time for China to play by the rules is now at hand.

For most Americans, Mueller was the final word – not Nadler.

What is going on in the House Judiciary Committee is not a constitutional crisis.

It is a political stunt!
What the House is doing gives witch hunts a bad name. Witch trials were more fair and reasoned than this.

This is a Trump Hunt – a political search and destroy mission.

So sad.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will be hearing this morning from Jeffrey Rosen, Trump's nominee for deputy attorney general. The stakes are quite different from when current DAG Rod Rosenstein had his hearing in March 2017, but the DAG is still a hugely important post at DOJ
Rosen serves as deputy secretary of Dept. of Transportation. He's a lawyer with significant legal/govt experience, but has never served in any position within the Justice Dept., which is unusual for DAGs. He addresses this in his prepared remarks: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5810…
Rosen and AG Bill Barr go way back - the two are former law partners at the firm Kirkland & Ellis. Here's Rosen's Senate questionnaire: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

Senators are starting to fill the hearing room. Lindsey Graham wishes everyone a happy new year and introduces Chuck Grassley who no longer is the chair but still has a lot to say, apparently

Hello from Senate Judiciary: Recess Edition. Dems are upset Grassley scheduled a judicial noms hearing during the recess; Grassley says they agreed to the date knowing this might happen. Kennedy is slated to run it, not Grassley — so far just Sasse is here
On today's agenda: 4th Circuit nominee Allison Rushing, who is facing oppo for her relative lack of experience (born in '82, graduated from law school in '07) and defense of DOMA. Five district court nominees (see below) are also up. You can watch here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/10/17…
Kennedy has started the hearing -- it's him and Hatch (Sasse left the room a few minutes ago).

"Guess it's just you and me," Kennedy says to Hatch as he sits down

Happening now: The Senate Judiciary Committee is voting on a slate of nine lower court nominees, incl. 8th Circuit nominee Jonathan Kobes, who got a "not qualified" rating from the ABA, and DC district court nominee Carl Nichols. You can watch here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/10/11…
Grassley says they can't go the agenda yet re: voting on the judicial nominees because there aren't enough Republicans in the room.

Grassley: "I thank Democrats for taking their job very seriously"
More Republicans showed up so now they're voting. 8th Circuit nominee Jonathan Kobes has been approved by the committee along party lines, 11-10, ditto for WD-NC nominee Kenneth Bell

Morning all: If you're looking for links to watch this morning's testimony, start here.

An alternative link: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/nomin…
Candidly: we're not off to a good start. Clear bias as Grassley opens by stating there wasn't a "whiff" of allegations when Kavanaugh was investigated by the FBI, and scolds Feinstein for not revealing the letter. In front of Dr. Ford.

Please call your Senators. (202) 224-3121.
