Everything in the Senate revolves around votes -- and there's one at 1 a.m. Friday EDT.
What that has to do with the Sotomayor hearing: It might continue into the night until all public witnesses have been heard because senators have to stick around anyway for the vote. Another reason: If at all possible, senators would like to head home Friday rather than sit in committee.
No decision on timing has been made, according to a knowledgeable person. So, once again, stay tuned.
