Washington (CNN)The Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed holding a hearing next Wednesday where they will hear testimony from both Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing him of sexual assault, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

A deadline for Ford's legal team to respond to Senate Republicans' proposal for the hearing has been extended from 5 p.m. ET Friday to 10 p.m., Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said in a statement. If Ford's lawyers do not respond to the proposal or Ford decides not to testify by the deadline, Grassley said, the committee will vote on Kavanaugh's nomination Monday.

Of course they could have and still can remote the testimony. Her legal team knows there no way to put the liar under oath and will just make the sunday lib shows a spectacle. Her side will only be given to the liberal media where there’s no chance of legal repercussion.

Not sure if anyone’s seen this video, but it’s great. 5 women on CZnN all believe Brett Kavanaugh.

The vote on Kavanaugh MUST be done no later than Thursday or he can NOT join the court for this session.

All these dalays were meant to accomplish just that.

The vote MUST be done by the 27th.

The ‘end of the month’ is too late.

CNN lying yet again.

from article:A deadline for Ford's legal team to respond to Senate Republicans' proposal for the hearing has been extended from 5 p.m. ET Friday to 10 p.

From Senate Judiciary Chairman Sept 21, 2018 press release:

"Please respond by 5:00 pm to accept the invitation for Dr. Ford to testify on Wednesday according to the terms outlined above.

That's not a "hoping to hear from you about your thoughts on the matter" letter. The 8 page release clearly stated point by point what the committee might consider and what they would not consider in no uncertain terms.

Accept the request to testify...period.

So the committee votes on whether to send the nomination to the full senate for confirmation?

Of course there will be another shoe to drop. This is war and they fight dirty. Statists operate under the Pretense that the ends justify the means because their mission is holy. Like the blues Brothers saying “we are in a mission from God”

The truth will come out about ______ (fill in the blank
With your pick of originalist Judges who won’t rewrite the Constitution) and what happened in the sandbox at recess in kindergarten in 1970.

No, it's not too late. Kavanaugh can join the USSC any time. What these delays are meant to do is depict the Old White Men as demanding and unreasonable. If she wanted to testify she would have agreed. Instead the lawyers and publicists are putting up a display of pretending to "negotiate". When this is done they will get on the soapbox, lie about the details and whip stupid women (not all obviously) into a frenzy. They will protest in the capitol (even more than before) and hold marches elsewhere. It's all about publicity, the delay is part of the publicity.

In theory. But Clarence Thomas got a tie vote in committee. So it is really up to McConnell and he will ignore the committee vote if he has to.
