Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley appears to have ended the halting talks with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford about testifying next week about her allegations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh. After setting a sudden 10:00 PM deadline for agreement with his terms and rejecting further talks with Ford or her lawyers, Grassley has reportedly scheduled a Committee vote on the confirmation for Monday.

Its up to Flake to get it out of committee with a positive referral
And no freepers
Nobody has ever gone to the floor without that for SCOTUS nominee
Could be a first time
We cant lose over one senator on a floor vote if the Dems hold together
This is our reality
I PROMISE THIS!
The liar will suddenly ‘find the courage’ to hop on a plane tomorrow and be in DC to put on a side-show while the Senate is in session on Monday. I sure hope the Capitol Police are ready for the overtime needed.
Don’t nix it;)
Ford and her minders will be all over the Sundy shows.
That may be true, but remember they were both juveniles at the time and subject to the jurisdiction of juvenile court. So while there may not be a SOL for an adult, the adjudication in Juvenile Court may be different.
“After setting a sudden 10:00 PM deadline”
Are you kidding me Grassley has been bending over backwards for this women nothing sudden about his deadlines she had plenty of opportunity they would have gone to her for goodness sake.
She would have to give a specific date and time for the alleged “feel.” My guess is he could prove he was somewhere else. That’s why she wanted him to testify first.
A Senator with backbone! Who knew???
Grassley could still move the hearing, right?
This might just be a formality
Don't watch them,fake news.
If the next USSC session starts without Kavanaugh being seated then Kavanaugh cannot be involved in any case that was heard before Kavanaugh was seated. He cannot play catch up. It is as simple as that.
“Lets hope all the GOP senators are on the same page about this and all vote to confirm.”
Grassly won’t move without the votes, no way.
Thats what I hoping, theyd be smart enough to talk to the potential hold outs and see what their feelings are about this.
It seems odd other media outlets (cnn, nytimes, thehill) haven’t issued stores that the vote is Monday and they are going to skip Ford.
Anything else is hearsay, rumors and were gonnas.
In other words:
Lead, Follow or Get Out of the WAY !!!
Great. I will name my next kid or dog after Chuck.
How did she get to the 60 min studios for the interview?
No doubt, Grassley cleared this with the rest of the Reps on the committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman for regaining control of the process.
