Senators made another quick exit from the Capitol on Tuesday.

The chamber was always going to be closed for business Wednesday, in observance of Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown Tuesday. But getting the next two-bill spending package done and ready for the House next week could easily move up the departure.

There’s also now no reason for members of the Judiciary Committee to stay around for the executive business meeting that had been planned to include a Thursday afternoon vote to send the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the floor.

Mid-afternoon Tuesday, the Senate formally announced that there would be no further votes for the week. The next floor votes are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. next Monday.

The Judiciary panel is now scheduled to continue the Kavanaugh hearings next Monday, Sept. 24, with an open session that could get more attention than just about any other.
