I think the vote is still scheduled for tomorrow. I think Grassley will do a little speech like “Whereas we offered this, and whereas we offered that, and whereas we offered the other thing, and the nasty woman continues to stonewall, therefore let it be resolved that we’re just going to go ahead and vote.” That’s what I’m hoping for.
If not, don’t blame Grassley so much, it’s that witch Murkowski that said she couldn’t vote for Kavanaugh without hearing from the nasty.
It is true that Grassley does not bear all the blame (e.g. see this posting of mine.)
However, if the accuser is to be afforded time on Thursday [presuming that she shows], how can the Senate take a vote on Kavanaugh before she is heard? As you say, Murkowski demands otherwise. Of course it is problematical that Murkowski will vote to accept the nomination in the outset anyway. This is what it means to support the GOP: a house built on sand, while the Democraps demand that their members vote in lockstep - or else. sigh
At this point it appears doubtful that Kavanaugh will be seated on SCOTUS at the beginning of its session. I will be ecstatic if Grassley / GOP proves me wrong!
