    * Impeachment proceedings may never reach this point, but the risk that they might should have Chief Justice Roberts treading very lightly right now. [Take Care]

    * When it comes to Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Chua, maybe naked displays of elitist favoritism is the whole point. [CNN]

    * Law firm demand may not be growing but law firm pricing expert demand is booming. [Law360]

    * If you’re still trying to figure out if there’s any legal justification for Donald Trump’s claim that everyone can take opposition research from foreign intelligence services… there isn’t any. [Politico]

    Morning Docket: 09.24.18

    * The Senate Judiciary Committee has reached a tentative deal with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as to when she will testify about her allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. The showdown is expected to go down on Thursday, pending any last-minute changes. [New York Times]

    * Judge Kavanaugh dug up calendars from the summer of 1982 to corroborate his denials of Dr. Ford’s allegations. He apparently kept detailed entries as a teen, listing events like “go to [Mark] Judge’s,” but “drunk sexual assault fun time” is nowhere to be found. So convenient! [New York Times]

    * And now, a second woman has come forward to accuse Judge Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct — this time, during his drunken college years. Meet Deborah Ramirez, who says that when they were Yale freshmen, Kavanaugh shoved his penis in her face and as she pushed him away, caused her to touch it without her consent. [New Yorker]

    * Professor Amy Chua claims that everything current and former Yale Law students are saying about her Kavanaugh clerkship coaching is “outrageous” and “100% false.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, those Yale Law students say Chua is lying. [HuffPost]

    * “I am resigning from the firm, effective immediately.” It may seem like former federal prosecutor Michael Bromwich quit his job as senior counsel at Robbins Russell after objections were raised by partners to his joining Dr. Ford’s legal team, but they made a mutual agreement months ago about parting ways. His representation of Dr. Ford merely “accelerated” the departure. [National Law Journal]

    * Will President Trump fire Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein over his reported comments about wearing a wire before the midterms and Kavanaugh’s prospective confirmation? Trump’s GOP allies want him to wait before anything else gets muddled. [CNN]
