Grassley Announces Monday Vote on Kavanaugh After Rejecting Further Talks With Ford
New York Magazine ^ | Sept 21 2018 | Ed Kilgore

Posted on 09/21/2018 8:09:01 PM PDT by Hadean

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.

This is the right thing. Ford is not doing the negotiations. The DNC lawyers are. And their only desire is to delay. That is why they waited until after the deadline. And then went public with their wish to testify on Wednesday. They will not testify on Wednesday either. At that point they will delay another week for some reason. They don’t want to testify they only want to delay.

If you look at the definitions they have listed I do not think this case would be an assault. There was not skin touched or intercourse.

I think he touched her buttons but no clothes came off I don’t think who knows.

It was reported on both Hannity and Laura Ingraham that they were asking for a 24 hour delay. Has that been granted or not?

He? You assume 1) This “touching” incident actually happened and 2) It was Kavanaugh?

Maryland doesn’t have a statute of limitations for sexual cases.
But, it’s she said he said about 36 years ago. But, lunatic liberals are preparing to go for it.

Don’t forget, Feinstein STILL didn’t give Grassley the unredacted Letter from Ford.

She caused the delay by holding on to the Letter for six weeks (if not more) because she wanted to sabotage Kavanaugh at the last minute.

I’ll bet a dollar to a donut that EVERY Rat in that committee knew about the Letter within five minutes of Feinstein receiving it. Half of the so called Deliberate Body is nothing but a collection of Biased Traitorous MF’ers who should be strung up my their Heels.

Had Feinstein turned it over to the Committee back then, this issue would have been resolved. This whole spectacle is HER Fault yet her complicity is never mentioned. Facts mean nothing, it was the plan all along.

With all the extensions we give Dr Ford to decide if she still wants to testify to the Senate I feel like I’m playing 2nd trombone in the judiciary orchestra and Schumer is the conductor

Cmte investigators are following up on the leads from Dr. Ford’s allegations & news stories No other OUTSIDE investigation is necessary for the Cmte to do its investigation. Don’t know why Dems are refusing to cooperate in the cmte’s investigation I hope Dems will join me 4/4

It’s 24 hours for her, and a vote Monday.

He stopped the moving goalpost.

This is no longer about midterm votes.

Its about the lunacy of the left.

Diane might want to make sure her finances are in order.
