confirmation hearings she's been facing tough questions from senate committee members on capitol hill helen fisher reports from capitol hill god bless you. thank you very much chairman between hours of questioning down to important votes to go got it left the senate judiciary committee almost certain her nomination will go forward each senator had just 20 minutes of questions on the 3rd day of the hearing to fill the vacancy on the u.s. supreme court but it still led to some interesting exchanges and it raises many questions there are those who suggest donald trump could face criminal charges for his conduct in office if he loses next month's election so the question could he give himself a pardon the fire as i know that question has never been litigated that question has never risen that question may or may not arise but it's one that calls for a legal analysis of what the scope of the pardon power is so because it would be a pining on an open question when i haven't gone through the judicial process to decide it it's not want to which i can offer in view democrats also continue to push fo

hills. very calm, mount st. helen that only reporting a 10-mile-per-hour wind, mt. diablo 17 miles per hour. tonight we'll start to see a bit of wind beginning to build. you can see the brighter red, those are winds 30 to 40, close to the north bay mountains. but really, as we hit thursday's forecast, that's the better bet in the north bay. we're tracking two different systems. going to bring a big difference to our temperatures. back in 15 minutes with details on that. and potentially a little bit more of some wind coming our way. >>> areas inside bay area counties are expected to have power shut off as early as 8:00 tonight because of the fire danger. you can see the shaded areas on this map. parts of contra costa county, alameda, napa, and sonoma counties will go dark. thousands could be without power for two days at least. >>> another blow for small businesses in the north bay. the pandemic, the fires, pg&e power shutoffs have cost them thousands and a lot of stress. >> just do it. there's no hiding. there's no calling mom and dad for money. hell, no, just do it

helen fisher is on capitol hill covering this one for us today hi allan interesting to watch that exchange because dianne feinstein putting the pressure on amy in contrast to say lindsey graham who we saw earlier who was well through lobbying a few softballs here we say. well certainly this hasn't been nearly as contentious as the brick oven our hearings which you remember happened 2 years ago at that point he was accused of sexually assaulting someone at a teenage party it got very very angry indeed there were very bitter exchanges break covena approached it in a very combative style this is much more laid but much more respectful people would say but still the democrats are trying to to make significant points they're asking him equally how she's likely to rule on very important cases touched on cases here in the united states such as money in politics on abortion on obamacare and obamacare is important we'll come back to that in a 2nd but she continues to say lou that she will not make any statement about something that could come in front of her if she were confirmed to the court and s
