Kavanaugh has the right to face his accuser.. he even has the right to do the questioning himself... wouldn’t that be a kick.

Ovamony: the process in which responses to questioning are laced with a high amount of histrionics and manufactured tears for effect.

“Grassley is trading time for votes”

Thank you!

THAT is THE most important facet of this entire matter. Everyone... EVERYONE .. should keep that in the forefront. This isn’t about Grassley and a lack of spine.. it’s about Grassley trying to drag this nomination — and a few recalcitrant GOPers — across the finish line... and he’s done one HELL of a job here!

“Even Donald Trump is having a tough time trying to change the party and instill a winning mindset in them.”

I think lack of a winning mindset is part of the problem, but there is another dynamic as well: the Democrat party has successfully branded itself as the party of victims, underdogs, minorities, the weak, the vulnerable, the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised.

The analogy may be sexist, but they are like the weaker party in the same sense that females are known as the weaker sex.

It’s actually a pretty good analogy, because I remember in the third grade some of the girls were a foot taller than us boys and could kick our asses, but we were still supposed to stand there and not fight back.

It seemed unfair at times, and some girls purposely took advantage - but I think it represents a good and healthy instinct in decent society - the strong protect the weak.

As with some of the third grade girls (and sometimes my older sister), the Democrats and especially the so-called feminists take unfair advantage of a protective instinct.

Yes, the republicans are being soft on this pathetic accuser, but purposely so. It’s the cross we have to bear as “the stronger party”. And yes, the Democrats are cynically playing us like a fiddle, but to a certain extent, I’m OK with that.

Let her have her extended deadlines - let the republicans bend over backwards. It’s all good if Kavanaugh gets confirmed, which I think he will.

Clickbait headline.

there is no deal till all details are agreed upon.

The Dems will keep weasel bargaining until they pass the point that his nomination is put on hold.... meanwhile using the smear campaign in the election.

Plain to see

The SHOCKING truth is, this delay, past Monday, may mean NO VOTE on Kavanaugh until AFTER the November election! This is according to Senate Rules.

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.
~~~~~~What does it mean?

I still don’t get why there needs to be a deal. The committee has subpoena power, she claims to have knowledge that at least some of the committee members think is relevant and material to the confirmation proceedings, and nothing she could have to say is privileged. If you want her testimony, subpoena her. Otherwise, don’t.

But they remain divided on the order of a possible hearing— Ford's lawyers want Kavanaugh to go first but Republicans insist he go second. Ford's lawyers want to call additional witnesses, including subpoenaing Mark Judge, a classmate of Kavanaugh's and potential witness.

Since when does a witness get to call other witnesses in any proceeding?

Grassley and The Turtle should have Sen. John Kennedy play the Bad Cop as he questions her.

Lindsery can be the Good Cop.

Can you imagine the optics as Sen. Feinstein has to repeatedly raise her voice against "Senator John KENNEDY".

I have friends who to this day still think he's an heir to Camelot.

Once Feinstein realizes that the set-up has been set-up, it'll be too late.

Game. Over.

******************

What you’re alluding to is a description of the Democrat Party; its often referred to as the Mommy Party. That concept has been around for awhile and it is a pretty good analogy.

The Republicans unfortunately do not quite resemble what might be called a Daddy Party. ;)

I called ‘em out for voting in the non-dime’s worth of diff. between the uniparty nobodies (O’care, DACA, $1T+ deficits, no wall, no vs. Deep State...). Same response.

Don’t fret, FRiend. Even the (R) needs their plantation (party over politics, politics over principles...Just visit any SS/MediXYZ/War on Drugs thread).
