The Garza hearing starts now. I'll be live tweeting whether Trump administration can force an undocumented minor to give birth.
Government starts by saying it is not preventing Garza from getting an abortion just that they are not facilitating it. Sound familiar?

But let's talk about the connection between the Kavanaugh defense and the Title IX reg changes the Trump administration is proposing for a minute, okay?
We heard *a lot* about a return to the presumption of innocence and due process.

These are sacrosanct and the very fact Republicans are playing games with them should tell you how important they are
Anyways, lets get into the details. Under Trump and DeVos the only way a Title IX investigation happens is if someone files a formal report.

No report, and no report to the right person, the assault didn't happen as far as Title IX under Trump is concerned

Yes everything is terrible with Kavanaugh's confirmation but I think it's also important to remember that the Court for the majority of its history has also been terrible
The Supreme Court has rarely sided with disadvantaged people over the privileged. More often than not it has been the branch that has solidified power rather than pushed it back.
So I think that means a couple things.

One is that we need to be prepared for decades of conservative jurisprudence. The advances of the Warren/Brennan era will be pushed back. What many of us think of as a Supreme Court of expanding rights is an anomaly

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.

Sen. Grassley's defense of Kavanaugh and yesterday's proceedings is a brand new level of insult to survivors everywhere.
It was only fair that his accuser had the burden of proof, Grassley said. And in my opinion that wasn't met said Grassley

Then he suggests the press should leave the room for standing up and taking pictures
There's simply no reason to deny Judge Kavanaugh a seat on the Supreme Court based on the evidence presented to us, says Grassley.

There you have it, folks. We knew it but the fix was always in.

Kavanaugh hearings start soon. As I said last night I'll tweet as I can.

A reminder. This is not a criminal trial no matter what the right says.
The committee room is coming to order. Grassley likes to start things on time so I expect we'll be gaveled to order real quick here
Grassley gavels the proceedings to order. Begins with a lecture on civility and apologies to both Ford and Kavanaugh for how they have been treated.

Says he wants the proceedings to be safe and comfortable for both witnesses

It’s DAY FOUR of the Kavanaugh hearings how we doin friends?
The format for today's hearings is different with 5 panels of witnesses, some from the GOP and some from the Dems. Senators will likely shuffle in and out today
Some folks have asked what happens next. Well, the Judiciary Committee has to vote first. Dems have few procedural tools to block a committee vote but they could delay it. That would put it sometime around the 20th or so of September my my rough morning math
