Grassley to Feinstein: We won't delay Kavanaugh hearing
The Hill ^ | 09/25/18 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 09/25/2018 4:46:51 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is rejecting a request from Democrats to delay a Thursday hearing where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford are set to testify.

Grassley sent a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the committee, saying he would "respectfully decline" her request to postpone until the White House ordered an investigation into two sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh.

"I respectfully decline your request. I am not going to silence Dr. Ford after I promised and assured her that I would provide her a safe, comfortable, and dignified opportunity to testify," Grassley wrote in the letter.

The letter was sent on Tuesday and publicly released just minutes after Grassley's office announced it had scheduled a Friday committee vote on Kavanaugh's nomination.

Grassley added in his letter to Feinstein that there was "no reason" for delay the hearing, after lawyers for Ford, Kavanaugh's accuser, agreed to the Thursday date after days of negotiations.

He added delaying a hearing would be "unfair" to Kavanaugh, who has repeatedly said he is willing to publicly testify in order to clear his name.

"He has asked the Committee repeatedly for the chance to testify as soon as possible. He has categorically denied the allegations that have been made public. ...We can no longer stand in the way of him presenting his testimony before the Committee," Grassley added.

Feinstein in her letter to Grassley, which was sent on Sunday, argued that the hearing should be delayed until the FBI could investigate allegations from Ford and Deborah Ramirez.

Ford alleges that during a high school party in the early 1980s Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothes. Ramirez told The New Yorker in an interview published Sunday that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her when they were both students at Yale.

Kavanaugh has denied both allegations and Grassley added in his letter that he didn't think Ramirez's allegation would impact Ford's testimony.

"The obvious connection between the two claims is thatSenate Democrats hid both allegations of misconduct from the Committee and the public," he added.

I think that Dr. Ford is supposed to provide the Committee with a copy (transcript) of her testimony along with her bio in advance of her appearance. (Based upon what Grassley initially requested and what is usually standard.

I wonder if she has been willing to put it in writing and provide it to the committee? Not much time left. I would think that putting it in writing could be a dangerous move for her??

I would say it has been going against the dems starting with the midterm elections in 2010. How obozo managed to cheat a win in 2012 by lying about how great things were when he knew the middle east was falling apart is hard to believe but he did it. Other than that win; the dems have been on their heels since 2010. I know in my bones that 2012 obozo win was fixed though. I just know it.

Here js the itinerary I got at stolen itineraries.com

convene 9 AM

Grassley does the purpose and ground rules he gets 2 sentences in and the distinguished diary fro Hawaii mothers the hearing be cancelled and the nominees rejected because it is obvious it is women’s true to be believed. There is arguing and two women shout in the back of the audience, vagina power is truth they shut up when the security enters the room from OUTSIDE.

Grassley starts up again Point of order Mfr. Chairman I recognize the minority leader. my office received an anonymous phone call from seattle from a distressed woman who said she walked into the men room by mistake in 1990 and judge Kavanaugh was at the urunal. he turned when he heard a woman’s voice and he saw some urine drops go on the floor before he zipped dup his pants and apologized to her. I make a motion that the FBI look into the incident and try to identify any witnesses. And perhaps the FBI can gather DNA evidence if the urine drops are still on the floor. We have diagram of the men’s room from that year and these drops represent approximately where the urine dried from his meet throbbing long penis. I’m sorry i had shots false again. I ask for break to take my hormone shots. If i may. i have said there would be more victims come forward. in order to do justice to the victims here today. we should give the FBI 30 days to investigate and give the distressed victims time to come forward. Some of them may be seeking representation and need time for consultation. plus one of them wants to ride her bike her from san diego because airplanes are a sign of oppressive capitalism. I call for a vote to adjourn.

We are not adoring. Yes the senator from hawaii please be brief madam. Senator under rule 1206.7 establish by senator Clay in 1836, I have a right to speak on the motion. Senator booker please stop crying for supposed dead Puerto Ricans who are anonymous and for whom there are no death certificates. the honorable senator from hawaii has the floor. I support her moth in in support of senator’s difi’s motion. it’s time for men to support abuised women. This is a big problem in this country and when this abusive president is defeated we will show the women how much democrats support them when the republicans have abandoned them at the worst time of their lives.

I thank senator booker for his campaign speech for 2024, which we have heard 3 times. Senator. Not now senator booker. The senator from Hawaii will waiter turn. Senator Feinstein this committee will bot be delayed. When you have something of substance we will consider brit.

senator i have this anonymous letter from MSNBC supporting the claims of men at urinals. Apparently 3 women at the channel have been traumatized by walking inadvertently into mens rooms and under the bathroom rights act passed by Obama who was supporter of women and transgenders and young girls walking into men’s bathrooms, they have the right to be there and not have to be traumatized by a man’s tallywhacker.

We will proceed. I run this over to the majority whip. Thank you senator. ,i hope you had a good time at the football game and tailgate party. You are ahoy to the people of your state. i am sorry Auburn beat them by 42 points, but we have another playoff squad and a heisman candidate. Senator we are ready for you to question the witness. Yes, of course.

Now a woman on the right pulls off her top and talks about how women are oppressed because they have breasts and wants all babies fed by federally paid for formula so that women can be free. Two security come and she continues to rant till she is outside. She puts on another top and looks at her check for 43,500 and goes outside and gets in prius.

The disturbances repeat every 90 seconds and the security guards careworn out. Two people have cranberry sauce thrown on theorem 500 dollar suits because it resembles the blood of oppressed women who are being raped in Yemeni.

A man stand up and say abortion now and forever. His wife looks surprised because they have 4 kids.

Break.

Grassley refuses to clear the hour. Difi says another call is coming in and there is not word yet what the details are.

The witness attorney says, she is still in the bathroom vomiting and wants to know if there is a nurse in the buying. At 11, Schumer is given time on NBSC as they mute the best questioning of the hearing showing the witness has nothing and is just complainant. Senator Grassley sees of these are her plane tickets form ayer ago and wants to know what she said she couldn’t;t fly. That was then this is now her attorney says. She is her to speak for all woman and we believe that is the critical real meaning of her appearance.

Senator Harris from California the woman who helped gavin newsome destroy san francisco. He doesn’t;t say that last part but it all we know to be true. I remind the gentle lady because her parents fear foreigners when she was born she is not qualified to run for president because she is not a natural born citizen. Thank you senator, I am a democrat and no one gives a rats ass about what old white men decide two centuries ago. We will not be oppressed by the racist mysoginistic ideas of old dead slave owners. Respectfully your comments are an indication of how much out of touch the republican party is with women and woke men in this country. I support these brave women who came forward and as soon a Is see any evidence I will strengthen my resolve to run for president and take your life a living hell. I yell back my time to the gentlewomen maxine waters. I remind the gentle woman Congressmember waters is not member of the senate but the house. Senator, she is the informal head of democrat women in this country, pioneer of cicl rights and oppressed people in her district for the last 30m years. She will not resign until all oppressed people come and paint her multi-million dollar house and free themselves from the bonds of slavery. My bill on reparations for slavery will be on the floor next week. I yield my time. You are 90 seconds over your time Senator and i can’t understand anything you said.

More demonstrations now the galley is half full.

Lunch is two hours to give potential victims to call the victims of judicial nominees hotline set up by the dmeorats and Congresman ryan has funded just this morning.

2 PM Senator booker. i would like too reposed to trumps, you mean president trump? not senator he is not my president. Well sir who is your president. If I run and I say if, all right thinking citizens can self-govern and we will prorate tax revue by citizen. Didn’t;t you mean distribute equally. What do i know I will appoint idiots from harvard to figure it out. {professor cornell west is heading up may social justice team.

With four more witnesses, Grassley adjourns at 9:30 becvausehe’s old and worn out.

The next morning two more witnesses have tweeted feinstein. One is 16 and says she remembers her death mother saying she played spin the bottle with kavanaugh when they were 9 and she felt the tipoff his tongue for two seconds.

In 202, president warren appoints faux indigna who is VP of planned parenthood to the supreme court.

This has been MSNBC at the capital building in washington. Now our special on the ten best ways to sneak into the southern border.

In 2010 the country was being run by seditious liars, con-men and entrenched establishment stooges who had been hoodwinking the most of the country going back decades. From my perspective, nothing changed until 6/16/2015.
