I dont see why she cant have her little hearing independent of the vote.

One has no bearing on the other. Despite what some say.

Have the godam vote. give her her hearing a couple weeks from now after cupcake gets more coaching.

[kaktuskid]

Then the president does a recess appointment (he can). Case closed.

[centurion316]

Not true. Whenever a vacancy occurs, a replacement will take his seat when confirmed. Nothing to do when the Session begins.

[RightGeek]

DR FORD SHOULD SUE DIFI FOR SLANDER.

This is ALL difi's fault and SHE should be held accountable.

[centurion316]

The Democrats have realized that they can’t take the risk of allowing her to testify under oath. This will not happen, but they will play the delay game until the vote is taken.

"She is not used to the public spotlight. She is not used to Washington politics. She is from what I understand not yet at all ready for this kind of grilling that she's going to be walking into. Which is part of the delay, which is part of the back and forth whether she wants to do it or not."...I think Feinstein knew she was shaky-flaky and that's why she didn't pursue the letter and bring the issue forward - even Feinstein knew you couldn't just drop anonymous charges and have them taken seriously without further investigation and explanation from the accuser - somehow Ford was outed (or I seem to recall earlier in the week someone from WaPo - maybe Charles Lane - saying she outed herself by going to the paper with her story) - so now it appears she's gotten herself into the position of being used by the 'rats as a last ditch weapon to stop Kavanaugh - she's either so naïve that she thought she could simply make an accusation and walk away or so arrogant that she assumed her word would be enough to bring down Kavanaugh by itself, but either way she's ended up in a situation she's not at all ready for - it'll take a lot of coaching to get her to the point that she doesn't give herself away as soon as she opens her mouth - as my old friend from Taiwan used to say, "the higher the monkey goes, the sooner he show his tail"....

This accuser is someone who had to stand before a board and defend her PhD dissertation, yet can’t bring herself to simply appear before a panel and tell what she knows about an accusation.

[KeyLargo]

“there was no immediate public response from Ford’s lawyers. That silence and Grassley’s offer, which did not rule out further compromise, left uncertain whether Ford would appear and tell lawmakers and a captivated nation about her allegation that an inebriated Kavanaugh trapped her on a bed and tried removing her clothes when both were teenagers in the 1980s.“ NBC.

So Grassley will comprise again?

[Soul of the South]

“So Grassley will comprise again?”

Once again GOP Senators prove they do not know how to draw a line in the sand and hold it.

[ldish]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>

[DennisR]

“Not ready” means still trying to figure out how to lie.

[Architect of Avalon]

Making **** up takes quite a lot of time.

[Architect of Avalon]

"Bart Kabbalbah attacked me!"

[Coach: "His name is Brett Kavanaugh."]

"Who?"

[Coach: "Brett Kavanaugh."]

[arrogantsob]

The Democrat-Republican party of Jefferson tried in many ways to destroy Hamilton who was the greatest political philosopher of the last millennium.

Hamilton was responsible for getting the US off on the best foot through his Financial System, opposed every step of the way by Jefferson’s Democrats. They tried to kill him with overwork and never thought he would accomplish what they demanded.

He was a phenomenon the like of which we have never seen.

Democrats were the same in 1788 as in 2018,

At one point they had decided to challenge him to a duel one after the other until he was shot. That was called off when the word leaked out.

Which biography are you reading?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Does the committee have subpoena power?

[pepsionice]

For this type of episode, you need a team to assemble the 300-likely questions, then you work to develop the answers to project out, and then you bring the ‘talker’ in to train. For a project like this? I would take a guess that you need at least two weeks. Maybe if they’d started in early August, this would have worked. But I don’t think they were prepared or else they figured that Kavanaugh would fold already.

Maybe they have been working with her and she has trouble with their scenario/script, and the ‘truth’? If you were a lifetime alcoholic, this would be a demanding session to sit through.

[GOPJ]

How about inviting Juanita Broderick to testify while we wait?

It happened. Juanita Broderick has offered to show up and answer questions about Bill Clinton raping her... Someon's already posted the piece...

Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 while he was running for governor of Arkansas, says she will testify before the U.S. Senate if Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser will not.

“Just a thought……If Christine Ford declines to be interviewed Monday…. I’m available to answer questions about my Rape by Bill Clinton,” Broaddrick tweeted this week in the midst of the sexual misconduct allegations which have plagued the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh.

She also needs a makeover so she’ll look more like that teenage pic (poor young innocent) that seems to be all the media can find. Doubt she’ll show up haggard, with frazzled hair and a pussy hat, as she’s recently appeared in public.
