we're going to dip out of this contentious hearing for a few moments. that's brett kavanaugh in the chair there. president trump's second no, ma'am me that to the supreme court. this is day one of his confirmation hearing. contentious. they're already off schedule because of democratic complaints, partly about the process, partly pant the nominee. it's been a remarkable process so far. democrats complaining from the get go that this hearing should be delayed, postponed because they say 42,000 pages of documents provided to them just last night. again, we'll keep our eye on the hearing. just want to get some insights on what we've seen so far this morning. with me in studio to share their reporting and their insights, mollie ball with time and supreme court analyst joan biskupic. you saw democrats right out of the box delay the hearing, postpone the hearing, you're not being fair, it's all about politics. we'll get to the policy when judge kavanaugh starts answering questions.
