UPDATE 12:55PM ET Hearing adjourned.
Thanks to Lurks a Lot for starting the liveblog on this hearing. The Senate Judiciary Committee is always better than any Committee in the House so hopefully this will be an interesting hearing.
It's McConnell redux on the Hill today, this time with SJC. I'm wondering if anyone will pursue McConnell's "selective declassification" from previous hearings as summarized in drational's diary from yesterday.
There's no Mothership so PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS DIARY
