The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be cut short Wednesday, after Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blocked Republican efforts to keep questioning the nominee until late in the day.
Schumer objected to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s request for the committee to continue meeting after 2 p.m., meaning the Supreme Court confirmation hearings could bleed into next week.
The move is the latest clash between the parties in what has been a contentious hearing process.

Fine. Vote to confirm and ram it through.
Bttt
Well I guess we know who runs things
Do the American Senators have more votes than the liberals?
If so, then vote today.
I thought the Pugs were in charge of this circus?
All this Democrat obstruction, and unhinged protesters, may actually help us in public opinion and the mid term elections.
Seeing how unhinged the liberals are, may well convince some more moderate undecided voters , to vote no to their anarchy.
Can’t work a full day. Nope, not on Wednesday.
I just heard that Jon Kyl got sworn in. That will be another vote for Kavanaugh.
Remember, it’s the hump!
Agree. That may be why the elder Grassley is letting them perform their freak show.
You’re right. If Schumer can deem that the hearings must be stopped, McConnell can certainly deem them over and call a vote.
Are they EVER really in charge of anything?
That’s what I was thinking. Who’s in charge?
Good going, Mitch!
My feelings exactly. Hold the vote after the Dims go home at 2pm.
Or 1 question to each Senator and no answers. That will speed up the meeting.

MAGA! :)
Why not. Originally, hearings did not constitute an element of the Senate's "advise and consent."
Time to administer some tough love.
The Republicans have the authority the power to quiet these proceedings, to shut down debate and call for a vote - right now - but not the will to do so. - flex the muscles folks!!
If the situation were reversed and Obama people in the driver’s seat you know darn well that is what would happen.
I approve in playing the nice guy up to a point. But when the opposition takes advantage of you, then drop the hammer.
