Grassley put his foot down, no more games.

The Rodents had their chance to present their witness, they refused to accept the very generous and unprecedented re-opening of a Supreme Court confirmation hearing, and now the vote that should have happened this week is going to happen Monday.

All it takes is that one a-hole.

But he said he would vote to confirm if the bitch didn't show up, and I suspect that is why Grassley is being so lenient with the c.

'Rodents' ? People you disagree with are now rodents, how nice is that, are you a Christian too, thank God you're not a rodent huh. Is voting the party line now a patriotic act or is it something else.

"Humans universally make Us/Them dichotomies along lines of race, ethnicity, gender, language group, religion, age, socioeconomic status, and so on. And it’s not a pretty picture. We do so with remarkable speed and neurobiological efficiency; have complex taxonomies and classifications of ways in which we denigrate Thems; do so with a versatility that ranges from the minutest of microaggression to bloodbaths of savagery; and regularly decide what is inferior about Them based on pure emotion, followed by primitive rationalizations that we mistake for rationality. Pretty depressing."

The hearing is set for Wednesday. No more extensions will be granted. Ford will testify first. A female staffer will ash her question from the Republicans. The vote will be right after the hearing ends. Outside counsel will be allowed. If she doesn't show then the vote will be immediate.

Wait till the Democrats tell the New York Times about this


Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News fame, on the air, just handed the Democrats their next tactical attack on Judge Kavanaugh guaranteed to push the stalled confirmation past the midterm election. He unwittingly told the Democrats watching Fox that Dr. Ford and her (Hillary lawyers) can now take Ford to Maryland, (the scene of the alleged crime) and file charges against Kavanaugh for sexual assault, where there is no statute of limitations. Thereby forcing Maryland’s law enforcement to investigate and possibly prosecute him for the alleged crime. Thereby placing any vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation by Senate Republicans in jeopardy for however long it takes to investigate the charge and or possibly prosecute it.

No, they're not Rodents now.

They've always been Rodents.

I didn't make them and carry no responsibilities to them. They're their own disaster area, and it's their fault for being ignorant lying pieces of trash that want to steal everything, nailed down or not.


how nice is that,

It's very nice. Thank you for asking, the feedback from my campaign is nice when it's as positive as yours.


are you a Christian too,

No, of course not.

That would totally wreck my pro-life anti-abortion positions if I held them because of FEELINGS.

Rodents base their arguments on feelings, like you apparently do, too.

You're just unhappy that you don't have any rational arguments to post to counter my reality-based pronouncements.

I could say it sucks to be you, but I wouldn't know, and I'm glad of it.


thank God you're not a rodent huh. Is voting the party line now a patriotic act or is it something else.

Voting Rodent is treason. That much is transparent.

Then you post some empty quotes that I can freely ignore, since thoughts not expressed in your own words are not your own thoughts.

The Republicans have a long history of caving in. Nearly every one of them ran on the promise to eliminate the ACA. As soon as they gained the majority they abandoned that promise.


The only time I can remember them not caving in was on the Garland nomination.


They are going to abandon kavanaugh and ask Trump to withdraw his nomination.

Kavanaugh accuser agrees to testify.....


The woman who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school agreed Saturday to testify in advance of a scheduled vote to advance his nomination to the Supreme Court.

“Dr. Ford accepts the Committee’s request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week,” Christine Blasey Ford’s attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, informed the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has been negotiating with Ford’s attorneys about the conditions under which she might testify to the committee. In the email to the committee, her attorneys referred to a Friday proposal as “fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee’s promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations," and said they "are disappointed with the leaks and the bullying that have tainted the process."

But, they said, "we are hopeful that we can reach agreement on details” and asked for time later Saturday afternoon to continue negotiations.

No details were immediately available on when Ford might appear, a previous point of contention between the two sides.

Her team had previously missed a series of deadlines to come to an agreement, leading Grassley to call for a final answer by 2:30 on Saturday; if she wouldn’t accept an invitation to appear on Wednesday, he would proceed with a plan to vote Kavanaugh out of committee on Monday.....snip~

The media lies, nothing has changed. She wants her conditions, doesn't want to be under oath, wants him to testify first. That is not the way it works, she is the accuser and she has the burden of proof not him. The R's need to go ahead for the vote.

That's what the Demos want is Kavanaugh to withdraw. He has told everybody he will not. He is standing his ground.


The Jig is up.....they are playing a headgame and now Grassley needs to hold the Vote Monday. Orrin Hatch weighed in.



Debra Katz & Co.: We Accept A Request to Testify, Maybe, But Only If We Can First Discuss More Specifics....

Attorney Debra S. Katz and her client, Professor Christine Blasey Ford, have "accepted" the Committee's request to testify next week before the Senate next week regarding Professor Ford's allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexual assaulted her three decades ago, but have asked Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for another meeting this afternoon to discuss specifics regarding the process in which the testimony will occur. Based on Debra Katz's request for more time to discuss specifics, it does not appear that they will actually testify under the proposed plan by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Dr. Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week," Katz's email read. But, she said the proposed order of business is "fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee's promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations."

NEWS: Ford accepts offer to testify Wednesday pic.twitter.com/cuA6AD2RsJ (https://t.co/cuA6AD2RsJ)

The Senate Judiciary Committee offered to Professor Ford's testimony on Wednesday, but it appears that her legal team believes this process to be unfair. Sen. Chuck Grassley originally threatened to hold the vote to confirm Kavanaugh on Monday if Katz and her team did not reach a reasonable agreement last night at 10:00 PM. They did not. Sen. Grassley then opted to give the Professor Ford's more time, until 2:30 PM today to come to sort of agreement. Based on this letter from Katz, it appears no agreement has been met. The 2:30 PM deadline was not an invitation to discuss more details, but to accept the Senate Judiciary Committee's offer. Katz and Ford did not accept their offer and instead made a counteroffer to discuss more details, thus delaying the process even further.

As Sen, Orrin Hatch noted, any more delay of this process seems to indicate this is simply about "politics."....snip~

No, not this time. Grassley has been played and he is not going to let it go, Ford will not testify. The conditions she claims she wants will not be arranged. Grassley has gone as far as he is willing to go. He is a pissed off Senator.

Either Monday or Wednesday he will call the hearing to order. when she doesn't stand up he will call for a vote. The nonsense was a reach too far for the Dems.

Now, this is Saturday night and anything can happen after tonight but I'm saying she will not show up. She never was going to show up.

I think you’re giving Grassley more credit than he deserves. He let the confirmation hearings become a circus. He just went public with a date for the vote then recinded it within minutes. The Democrats are running him. He’s shell shocked. He’s getting his ass kicked.
