My hunch at the time was that Specter was offended by the unfair, late-hit aspect of the Hill charges against Thomas. I think the same dynamic is unfolding right now. Sen. Collins is clearly perturbed and offended by the way the allegation against Judge Kavanaugh came to light, and Sen. Jeff Flake (also the wavering Bob Corker) have both said that if Dr. Hill doesnt appear next Monday, the Senate should proceed to a vote. The hint seems to be that all of them, in the absence of any additional credible information, are ready to vote for Kavanaugh.
Keep your eye on them through the weekend. Their public statements will signal how it is going to go. (I expect there will be yet another last minute Democratic attempt to produce new information late in the week or over the weekend to screw up Mondays scheduled hearinga new witness, or some fresh rumors of rumors. So its not over until its over.)
, a large part of the motivation for this stunt is more about energizing the Democratic base in the upcoming midterm election, and also providing their vulnerable red state Senators with a plausible rationale for a No vote. The conventional wisdom is that the matter presents a vote-losing dilemma for Republicans, but I am not sure that the opposite isnt true. I suspect this stunt will motivate a lot of complacent Republicans to turn out in November, with this fresh reminder of what Democrats are like.
Final prediction: If the hearing goes off as scheduled on Monday, Judiciary chair Chuck Grassley wont even get to the verb in his first sentence before he is interrupted by a Democrat demand to adjourn the hearing. Care to start a pool on whether it will be Booker, Harris, or Blumenthal going first?

Difi and whoever financed this fake Ford stunt should be thrown in prison!
.....I suspect this stunt will motivate a lot of complacent Republicans to turn out in November, with this fresh reminder of what Democrats are like....
It may also motivate many disgusted Independents to vote Republican this November, when they are reminded how despicable Dims are, and how intolerable it would be to have them continue in office!!!!
I suggested DiFi should be thrown in prison for this awful stunt Recently shes said she cant vouch for the Ford claim. And its been widely published that DiFis publication of said claim was somehow accidental. ( I cant imagine how that could be). But at least DIFi is backtracking

I follow Ed Whelan on twitter. He is helping administration get Kavenaugh confirmed and very connected with what is going on inside WH. He twitter has bunch of tweets stating by next week, it will be prove Kavenaugh could no way been at a party to do this and that DIFI will have to apologize.
Yes, I had heard something to this effect on talk radio earlier today.
I’m not interested in Trollstein’s apology.
She needs to resign in disgrace or be expelled.
They will, they can't resist the political theater. They already said all would vote no so what difference will their absence make? They are in the minority. The vote can go on without them.
Hill? Ford?
What difference does it make?
Lol
I think both Collins and Flake are outraged by the behavior of the Dems. And I think Flake said we should go ahead and vote if the accuser doesn’t show up Monday.
“Grassley is willing to go to CA and the accuser still wont testify”
The accuser can come to DC, or go to hell, IMO.
There are four men she has named, probably all of whom live in the DC area. Any other females who were present as well probably live in the DC area too.
The accuser needs to bring photographs of herself from about the time of the alleged attack so the other people can better recollect.
Having the accuser come to the DC area would facilitate her identifying the house associated with her claim.
If the house is identified, other witnesses may recollect better.
I hope they are. I know I am.
If they are not, I can certainly direct my outrage at them instead.
I fear they’ll cave and drop his nomination..they are giving the repulsive rats too much time to play against kavanuagh’s character! In just 4 days all of HELLywood produced a stinging character assassination video etc..the hits keep coming and our guys are useless to stop it!!! Grassley should have demanded the witch to appear before the panel TOMORROW!!! Unfortunately it looks like she is in the drivers seat!!
“Democrats”
There might be a few that are in the closet politically.
There might be DINOs as well as RINOs in the Senate.
There might even be a few Democrats that prefer Kavanaugh over Barrett.
If Barrett can protect children, she probably will.
“Sen. Collins is clearly perturbed and offended by the way the allegation against Judge Kavanaugh came to light”
Sen. Collins must be upset by the Democrats screaming to get unimportant documents and for months hiding the one that actually might matter.
Well like Duhhh was in Brent or Brad or Judge where was it and when...
What difference does it make
Either will be a plus
Anita editor, stat!!!
LOL
Christina King Miranda, one of Blasey’s supporters, posted a statement that she and many other classmates within the school knew of the incident, at the alleged time of the occurrence. This among other comments contradicted key elements of Blasey’s narrative. When called out on the contradictions, Miranda stated as a final posting “It’s served its purpose”; and, she then proceeded to delete the Twitter account.

Haven’t all of you folks realized yet that the best actors and actresses ARE NOT in Hollywood; they are in Congress, the Senate, even the Presidency on occasion.
