Fox News was told that the Republican senators want an answer “by the end of the day.”
In a statement released Friday evening, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley extended the deadline for a response to 10 p.m. If there's no response, or a rejection of the offer, Grassley said in a statement, the committe may set a vote on Kavanaugh's nomination for Monday.
“I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening," Grassley said. "I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony."
"We cannot continue to delay.”
“We need to hear from her,” said one senior source familiar with the process. “Monday is the preferred date. But we are open to other things.”
A senior Republican source told Fox News “we can’t postpone forever.”
For their part, Democrats reacted negatively to the offer. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Ford shouldn’t “be rushed.” She said Ford can’t testify any earlier than Thursday.

She had months
Are we going to have a Captain Queeg moment?
So will they respond at 9:59?
Yes, I’m fully expecting Ms Ford to accuse BK of having stolen strawberries from the mini fridge of her hotel room.
Please respond by 5:00 pm to accept the invitation for Dr. Ford to testify on Wednesday according to the terms outlined above. We will have to issue various Committee notices soon after, so timeliness is extremely important
Isn’t she underway- driving east to DC?
“So will they respond at 9:59?”
Yea, and then 5 minutes before the hearing, she will magically come down with the sniffles and the hearing will have to be delayed
Gutless GOP does it again!
She doesn’t like trains, planes of automobiles. So she will slow walk to DC. Should be there by 2020.
or
According to Erica Jong, this chick ain’t afraid to fly, if you know what I mean.
Everytime Diane Swinestine opens her piehole someone needs to respond with “you had every opportunity to bring forth this letter back in July, yet you failed to do so, therefore you invalidate any criticism about being rushed” Sit down and SHUT THE “F” up you bitch!
Grassley should come out and say ‘if Dr Ford testifies on Wednesday and then Judge Kavanaugh testifies after her, we will have time for the Committee vote and then the Senate vote, before the SCOTUS is seated on Monday’. That should be the end of any more weaseling. When did women become so weak and need such continuous accommodation of their weaknesses?? Dr Ford isn’t giving we strong women a very good name.
“committe may set a vote”
Notice Grassley says MAY.
May leaves room for the GOP to roll over again.
Oh hell, the pubs need to get on with this fiasco. Poor Brett and his family, what a travesty.
I see it as the only possible scenario....cuz she's a damn liar.
Since she revived the concoction in couples therapy....my guess is that there is a serious problem with their marriage.....perhaps she's promiscuous.
There's a piece missing and she decided to do the letter to :trick" her husband into believing her excuse for "whatever".
There is a word in this phrase that concerns me.
Can you guess which one it is?
I'm sure you can.
I said on FR the first day I wanted to see her fumbling with ball bearings in her hands and then mumbling about the strawberries being behind the whole thing.
Then, screaming “I loved that SOB Brett and he never even looked at me in high school. Never. Too good for me. I told everyody I’d get revenge. I loved him.”
Ford will be there to speak the day after the border wall is officially finished. Or the budget is finally balanced.
