Any questions to Kavanaugh about his perjury?

You might guess from my signature line that I'm on the cynical side of the table, so my presumption is that Republicans will confirm Kavanaugh regardless of what comes out of the hearing.

I was too angry to listen to all of the hearing, but I'm curious as to whether anyone asked Kavanaugh about his perjury?

Thanks!

The sexual harassment question freed republicans from having to discuss Thomas lack of experience on the bench. After they (intentionally?) failed to call witnesses who wanted to testify about similar experiences with Clarence Thomas, the vote became solely about whether there was proof beyond any doubt that he sexually harassed Anita Hill.

Thus, we are already hearing people say that after they gave Kavanaugh and Ford a "fair hearing" there just wasn't enough proof of the allegations.
