Mike Lee asks for unanimous consent for a 45-day FISA extension. Sen. Burr objects.

FISA will lapse on Sunday.
“I’ll let us go dark,” Burr says, noting that with the Senate coming back next week they can get the House-passed FISA bill passed.
Lee asks again for unanimous consent for a 45-day FISA extension.

Burr objects again.
Lee asks for unanimous consent for a third time. For a third time, Burr objects.
4th UC request, 4th objection.

Seems like this will keep going...

NEWS: Ron Johnson says today’s subpoena vote on Biden/Burisma docs is postponed to allow for additional briefings.
Committee source says they still plan to issue the subpoena, even without a committee vote.

“In the meantime, we believe a subpoena to Blue Star is a bipartisan path forward.”
TO CLARIFY: Johnson appears to be altering the subpoena. Initially he wanted to go for Telizhenko directly, but now the subpoena will target the firm, Blue Star, directly, according to a committee source.

Senators appear interested in moving the House FISA deal this week ahead of the March 15 deadline.

Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) says it’ll “depend on how many procedural roadblocks some of our members might want to throw up.”

Clear nod to Rand Paul & Mike Lee.

(1/3)
Thune says Barr has NOT yet met w/ senators on this, but... “I think it’s important we not let those authorities lapse. That would have obviously been last resort and worst-case scenario, but we’ve been hoping all along they would get a deal. And evidently they have.”

(2/3)
With FISA provisions expiring on March 15, Mike Lee says of the House deal:

“Based on earlier drafts of it, I don’t like it at all. But I haven’t seen this one yet.”

OK, I've caught up with Twitter again & there's both some v. interesting exchanges & still a fair bit of apparent wider public confusion re: the date UK leaves the EU, A50 #extension & the SI to change 'exit day'. So, in interests of end-of-the-week clarity, here's another go. 1/
The date UK leaves the EU is an intl matter. It's not determined by whatever UK domestic law may say.Changing 'exit day' in UK law doesn't change date UK leaves the EU. See posts this wk by @woodstockjag & @DomWalsh13 as well as me, & eg @ProfMarkElliott & @carlgardner on here 2/
UK & EU have now agreed that A50 period, at the end of which the departing state leaves the EU, will be later than 29/3. The only way the UK still leaves the EU on 29/3 is if UK gov, or EU, or both, renege on the agreement reached last night. 3/

Just asked @comey if he’s “best friends” with Mueller or has any conflicting relationship with him. He laughed and said:

“Note that I smiled.”
That’s a response to this tweet:
MEADOWS says he has “14 pages of questions.” This is going to be a long day, maybe 10 pm.

Senate debate on the Kavanaugh nomination has begun. You can watch here if you're so inclined

floor.senate.gov/MediaPlayer.ph…
Sen. Sherrod Brown speaking now making his case against Kavanaugh.

What matters here, what really matters here is that we listen to women.
There is likely nothing new that will happen between now and the actual vote. Senators will make their cases and that's important. But expect these to speeches to be very on brand for each Senator.
