Let me guess: Republicans go first. This is just as worthless as five-minute questioning sessions for the hearings.Senators later Thursday will be granted access to the results of a confidential FBI background investigation into the allegations brought forward against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford and two other women who say the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted them.
Lawmakers from rival parties will be able to view the report in one-hour shifts, as the document changes hands between parties every hour.
Republicans have placed strict limits on viewing the document to prevent leaks, and just one copy of the report will be available at a time, a move that has infuriated some Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“Get this — one copy! For the United States Senate,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on Wednesday. “That’s what we were told. And we were also that we would be given one hour for the Dems, one hour for the Republicans. Alternating."

And how many documents kept hidden?White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement early Thursday that senators have been "given ample time to review this seventh background investigation."
"This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record and over a half million pages of documents," he added.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
