It’s 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 can’t 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.

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 for agreement...sudden? - the original vote was supposed to be yesterday - then Grassley gave Ford's people until this morning to decide about coming in on Monday - they objected, so agreed to move the hearing to Wednesday, and gave her until tonight to make up her mind - enough - she's had more consideration than was ever given to Juanita Broaddrick or Mary Jo Kopechne.....

“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.

Grassley could still move the hearing, right?
This might just be a formality

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.

“Let’s 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.

That’s what I’ hoping, they’d 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.

No doubt, Grassley cleared this with the rest of the Reps on the committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman for regaining control of the process.
