The Senate Judiciary Committee has reportedly reached a tentative agreement for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, to testify next week.
The deal, struck hours after Ford's lawyer responded to an early afternoon deadline saying that she would testify before the panel, would have her testify on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
The person briefed on talks between the Judiciary Committee and Ford's lawyers told the AP that talks would continue into Sunday.
Tweet: Nicholas Fanos: NEW: Per multiple sources familiar, lawyers for Blasey Ford, Grassley and Feinstein have tentatively agreed to a THURSDAY hearing in a call this evening.
Hearing that the other woman at the alleged party (the one missing witness, as identified by the accuser) has come forward & says she doesn’t know Kavanaugh & has no recollection of attending any party that he did.
Four alleged witnesses. All four do not corroborate her story.— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) September 23, 2018
Republicans are horrible at this. You know Chuck...you could have had this deal a week ago without looking like an absolute tool and without all the bad press
which means she will not appear on Thursday guaranteed someone tell flake and the rest of the loser Republicans who refuse to confirm him
Well I’ve heard enough...hang’em!
The Whole news media is now pure Gnostisism
Thursday? No way. What imbeciles.
YES he is and he has until 2022 to keep his seat..he is now 85, at the end of this term he will be 89, will he go for another FRESH SIX YEAR TERM?
DOUBTFUL, HE IS TOO SLOW AND FEBBLE NOW..
BUT, DiFI is also 85 and she is going for a FRESH SIX YEAR TERM this November,
SHE IS MORE FEBBLE THAN GRASSLEY, but none the less, she wants another term...
This is utter nonsense ...AGE MATTERS...When one gets into the 80’s the brain is weak, over used and the person resort to childish behavior. This jerks have younger aides doing all their work, they repeat what they are told. just makes me sick on my stomach watching what is happening to this Honorable Man..
POLITICS IS DIRTY EVIL BUSINESS.
HATE, CONTROL, AND POWER is what the liberal Democrats are working for..
Has anyone else noticed that Brett Kavanaugh is not tying up the Committee with endless demands for proceeding ahead to protect his interests?
WTF deal!?
Sheesh. This is like the Paris Peace Talks of 1973, when the Americans and North Vietnamese wasted weeks “negotiating” over the shape of the negotiating table.
That means that Thursday is also tentative.
It appears that we conceded on her demand to have the senators themselves ask the questions. That is a shame. That picture of all those “old white men” “bullying” a “victim” of attempted rape while she sits sobbing into a Kleenex will be in virtually every mid-term Dem ad. You can see it- In black and white. slow-mo. with some ominous music playing.
goody for you, you have it all figured out.
maybe Grassley can have them all stay into saturday to vote? Or if she doesn’t show - hold the vote late thursday .

Can someone please explain to me where this rumor got started that if Kavanaugh isn’t confirmed by October 1st, that he can’t be seated until after the fall session of SCOTUS? It’s like a Twitter virus.

Although Bill Mitchell is still tweeting that Oct 1st has some special relevance:

Ford wants to testify Thursday because that will guarantee Kavanaugh cannot be seated Oct 1st. This would likely mean he may not be confirmed at all and Democrats can run on saving a SCOTUS SEAT.

If anyone knows what the deal is with Oct 1st, please share.
Would not take part in any hearing that already started...can be seated by Senate anytime.

A few things:
1) I don’t think there will be any testimony in person by Dr Ford.
2) The Tucker rumor about Thursday being too late is misunderstood and not true. He means if he doesn’t have votes for confirmation it’s too late to submit another name.
3) Everyone relax.
There is no relevance to October 1. Kavanaugh will join SCOTUS immediately after he is confirmed by the Senate and sworn in! Doesn’t matter if SCOTUS is in session or not - he will be seated and can immediately sit in on cases before the court after he’s been confirmed and sworn in!!
No statute of limitations in Maryland. No surprise if she files paperwork and the Judge gets charged w the crime before next Thursday. She will be pressured into filing a false police report to achieve their goal. Consequences for her? What does it matter at that point.
Maybe you should go sit with the other team for a while, all your comments on this thread seem infavor of them.
Play til the end, don’t quit in the middle.
