She probably has some psychological condition that only allows her to travel no more that forty miles a day.

“The ignorance in the Republican leadership is massive.
She dictated to the U. S. Senate exactly what she wanted and they caved right through two or three deadlines, then gave her what she demanded. The Democrats may destroy Kavanaugh’s chances. They don’t have the goods, but our leadership is filled with nancy boys.”

No kidding. And DiFi gets away with giving Grassley the finger when he asked for a copy of the original Ford letter, so right off the bat the Repubs on the Committee are placed at a disadvantage, as is Kavanaugh.

Grassley is an utter embarrassment.

And if they wanna hold a presser and call it testimony, you can bet they’ll do it.

That's why Grassley won't hesitate to string this thing out until Election Day. Ford initially "demanded to be heard," and then immediately hired a team of lawyers that has demanded all kinds of ridiculous conditions for her testimony. That quickly undermined Ford's credibility -- probably beyond repair.

Once she did that, she looks like a total fool if she refuses to testify but then runs to the TV cameras to interviews about her allegations.

Ford, her legal team, and the Democrats were like the dog chasing the car down the road. The Republicans are all inside the car, and Grassley has been slowly depressing the gas pedal in the hopes that the dog will catch up to them.

In this case, the "dog" knows what's happening and just keeps running slower. LOL.

Again this ultimately is a result of the failed leadership of Mitch McConnell and Cuck Grassley! Too bad POTUS Trump doesn’t have the guts to call out his own party’s GUTLESS gutless leadership BY NAME instead of just blaming the DimRats! This Kavanaugh fiasco is solely due to the piss poor GOP leadership in the Senate along with Trump NOT specifically calling them out!

No way will they let her decline to testify. These lawyers are looking for money and fame.

For the next five days her lawyers are going to be on every cable news program with their names right below their faces. They'll do just fine in the publicity department.

As far as getting paid, CBF has several GoFundMe accounts that are getting fatter and fatter.

She doesn't need to show up to make her lawyers rich and famous.

there is no such thing as a “tentative agreement” with these jackasses.

When will they reach a “final” agreement, and what will be the terms and conditions of said agreement?

I agree.

To quote Dingy Reid....’This war is lost!’

Very sickening and sad. Yet....what do WE do? Certainly not show up, en masse, like the leftists do.

I know, I know....WE all have jobs/responsibilities, etc.

It’s just disheartening to know that they show up, on a moments notice, to yell, scream and get their way....while our side twiddles our thumbs and shakes our fists at the computer.

Two sets of laws, in this country, now. :-(

Siri doesn’t like me. I am NOT driving her to DC. No way! But I’ll bet if she drives, it will be a campaign style caravan, stopping at cities for rallies, raising money, gathering a more and more people to continue on to DC. A spectacle.

Graham has been the strongest Republican on the committee up to this point. If his name is on the list, you know damn well it’s all just for political optics.

The catch is that if they wait til Thursday, Kavanaugh won't be seated in time for this Supreme Court season.

"A Term of the Supreme Court begins, by statute, on the first Monday in October. Usually Court sessions continue until late June or early July."

The Court and Its Procedures

That's a year lost.

is already a circus. The circus will start wearing thin when the leftist “activists” start causing trouble (which they will, it’s what they do). Although I’m beyond PO-ed about this, I remain confident that Grassley and McConnell know what they’re doing.

Time is on our side.


Why do you think time is on our side?

Really?

Then how did Neil Gorsuch get confirmed in April 2017 and begin hearing cases LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER?

She is being coached and prepped already, and amazingly will remember a lot more details by Thursday

Oh, you mean like she'll recall the exact location, the exact date, and come up with name of witnesses that she didn't know or recall just a few days earlier? Hows that work?
