Oh, New York Magazine says this was a “sudden” deadline.

Like all day “sudden.”

These people are ridiculous.

“Sudden 10:00pm deadline” LOL. She had a 36 year deadline. Stuff it, Ford.

So which is it? A vote on Monday or a 24 hour delay?

The next end run is getting him charged in Maryland. That’s the plan now.

It is very confusing. Fox News on tv is still saying she has one more day.

Where is there anything about a 24 hour delay? The vote is Monday.

Sudden? It was written out in extensive detail to the lawyer and was an extension. The FIRST deadline was 5 pm.

After setting a sudden 10:00 PM deadline

Sudden? That was an additional 12 hour extension after a one week delay in the vote specifically because of her, after agreeing to 2 additional days of time for her to testify.

It was beyond obvious their delays in responding, then claiming that she wouldn't come forward until later in the week, that this was a partisan delaying in concert with the Democrats to keep the vote from ever occurring.
