They know they have all day to pound him... They have more up their sleeves...trust me. Were they easing back in order to get this lone day to attack.

Bush's poll numbers give the Democrats on this commitee a warm and fuzzy feeling and they therefore think they can play this nominee like a cat would play a mouse.
It will come back to bite them in the butt, but they feel emboldened at the moment and will drag this out for many, many more days.
