Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said late Friday night that he is giving Christine Blasey Ford more time to decide whether to testify on her allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Grassley wrote on Twitter that he had "just granted another extension to Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed [with] the statement she made last week to testify to the [Senate]."

[You pathetic old geezer...
GROW A PAIR!!!!!!]
He has no power over flake. Flake is leaving this term.
He even lost a fight with an exercise machine, for crying out loud. :-P
Right in the comments the libtards are trashing him. If the Repubs think this will earn them any brownie points they’re retarded.
There are 51 GOP senators. If there were 61, we wouldn’t be in this position.
Nope. If there were 71 GOP Senators we would be in this position. The Senate GOP has never shown an interest in being anything other than the doormat of the Democrat party. Where are the “conservative” lions of the Senate now? Answer: they are quiet as lambs.
I’m pretty much now completely convinced that this is all being done by sympathetic colleagues to cover for an Alzheimer-addeled Di Fi.
That is the vote on the committee to release it for a vote on the floor. There might be some rule that you have to wait X number of days -I think it is 3- before a floor vote is allowed
Grassley has drawn another red line. And ran away from it again.
Grassley must think he banking points. He's gathering contempt from all that know about this.
He's weaker than Jeb Bush.
It sure would spice up Grassley's life if he acquired some of Trump's fighting personality.
Grassley looked like he was on his last leg during the confirmation hearings.
It will move on.
DiFi will regret this BS. 85 year old bitch trusting a nut whore from high school in 1982.
Get Bent Liberals.
I lay the blame for there NOT being 50 locked in yes votes for Kavanaugh from the GOP Caucus directly at the feet of the wimpy Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell!!
He has an aversion to enforcing party discipline on major legislation and his unwillingness at playing hardball with RINO’s like Corker, Collins and Flake on major votes like the Kavanaugh Confirmation!
Spot on. Anybody bucking the Dem party line in a big Capitol Hill battle would be castrated. McConnell is Majority Leader specifically because he allows the “Maverick” cats to wander when they chose. They would have never elected him speaker if he had enforced party discipline to favor POTUS.
Pence is all over the country working. Where do you think he should be? He cannot do much about this situation.
They weren’t doormats concerning Scalia and Gorsuch. The problem is that there are at least 3 weak Senators who might vote no if they don’t get their way, and they’re running the show right now.
Watch out for the quiet ones.
It’s not Grassley. It’s the squishes - Flake, Murkowski and Collins. He needs 2 out of 3. If he doesn’t get it, there’s no point in holding a vote.
The obvious answer here is to threaten to withdraw GOPe boy Kavanaugh and replace him with a MAGA nom. Trump is playing ball with the beltway GOP nominating W.’s boy and they are spitting in our faces in return.
Trump can destroy the GOP if he wishes with one tweet on his phone. It seems those GOP careerists who have been in the beltway sewer too long have no clue how close they are to destroying the party of Lincoln.
I don’t think so.
This circus is even more than they can explain.
Trump has everything he needs and they know it.

Flake employs illegals at his Arizona ranch. Surely McConnell could remind Flake that once he leaves the Senate this January that there is NOTHING stopping FedGov from looking into his ranch’s business activity!!! Like I said McConnell is UNWILLING to play hardball with NeverTrump RINO’s!
