“This is pointless the vote is Monday.”

No. The vote has been postponed, per Chairman Grassley.

But, as it stands now. He gave the accuser additional time (24 hrs? , IDK) to decide if she shall testify. The vote is still on the docket, scheduled for Monday morning.

If she decides that she will testify, then Chuck will cancel Monday’s vote and schedule a hearing where they both shall testify, followed by a vote.

Is there any required time delay after a hearing which must precede the vote?

IOW, it’s possible for this to happen: Testify Wednesday...Vote on Thursday....Sworn in Friday....SCOTUS session begins Monday Oct 1.

In addition to voting on nominees, there is a bill being considered - S. 3178, Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018. LOL!

Pretty poor plan, seeing as how:

1. The statute of limitations has long run out,
2. She can’t remember 90% of the details,
3. Three alleged attendees to the party have denied it ever occurred, and
4. There is no evidence of any kind.

I will entirely agree with 2-4. However, there is no statute of limitations in Maryland for a “crime” like this. Charges could be filed. Just a filing would effectively end this.
But, as you know, lunatic liberals have never let something like no evidence stand in their way. It’s up to the prosecutor if police send him something.
This is one of the worst acts Democrats have ever tried to pull off.
They are totally psychotic and dangerous.

If the American people are paying any attention to all this, anyone who would vote for a democrat is a stark, raving lunatic..

Wonder if anybody who has been groped in their life has forgot where they were?

Good, if it really happens. Hoping that the Republicans have more testicular fortitude than the accuser.

Any male who would vote Dem has to be suicidal. You are their target.

No. Apparently, since we're talking same time frame, my memory is far better than hers.

I believe this is fake news. He’s giving her until today to respond, no time mentioned.

...Not sure if they can retroactively go back but the day the change was signed into Law should be the effective Date...
Removal of SOL’s for these offenses is becoming more common.
It’s removal in other states generally a removal back to day one. When laws change, they are generally copied from other states laws,sometimes word for word.
No “offense” is protected by law. But,it’s all about evidence. Her recollection of the facts in this case is very sketchy, dubious and probably wouldn’t be proof beyond a reasonable doubt. But, Democrats don’t care. It’s all about regaining power in any way possible.

Stop the humiliation. Pull Kavanaugh and give 'em Garland. Just shut the hell up Grassley. Maybe this will cause Trump to start vetoing stuff and stop asking his followers to vote for you tripe.

Possibly, point out the republicans who are making you do this... unless you think folks will show up and vote for you because you let this great nominee suffer your crap.

Assley has botched this entire thing from Day 1.

Upon first hearing of this from Dianne Feinstein, he should have held a press conference condemning Feinstein for withholding critical information so long, and then state it is too late to consider this new unproven allegation. He should have said the original schedule will remain, and take as many votes as necessary to confirm. He should have said Feinstein should advise the woman to go to the police but it was too late to consider, all the fault of Sen Feinstein for sitting on it for months and springing it on the committee at the last possible moment. Keep hammering blame on Feinstein for not bringing it up in a timely fashion.

OK. Now walk the walk. She can always scream things from the spectator’s stands, once DiFi lets her in.

I say: It is PAST time to hold the Kavanaugh vote, and discard DemocRAT distractions. She missed deadline after deadline. And look at her supporters! Cory Spartacus said he was a groper, didn’t he? We know Blumenthal lied about his “war” record and Feinstein kept a ChiCom spy on staff for 20 years and then covered it up with the help of Comey’s FBI. Kamala and Hironi are certifiably insane.

Tucker Carlson: If Democrats Delay Kavanaugh Vote for Another Week — His Confirmation Is Over Per Senate Rules

Want to bet? 4 of her friends now deny her accusations, why not depose them now? Subpoena her butt and send the FBI to collect her today. They want to delay this until it’s to late to confirm the Judge.
