Grassley has already lost control of his caucus.
You really want the committee Senators to record a vote before they hear her testimony?
I don't see how anyone could argue that she got a fair hearing under those circumstances.
It might fly with FReepers but with the midterms coming up we aren't the audience that matters.
Let’s hope the incompetent Repubs have got the FBI to retrieve her scrubbed social media.
Sounds good to me
If McFlake is the only holdout in the Senate, have Pence cast the deciding vote. There still may be Red State Dems who feel they had better vote for Kavanaugh......and there is also the chance that there are some other Dems who actually have a CONSCIENCE.
Sent to Grassley......
You should have had the vote last Wednesday when it was originally scheduled. This situation is a dem dirty trick and you and McConnell blinked.
Memo to self...if I ever accuse anybody of anything and don’t fill a police report, and don’t remember where/when it happened, and never talked about it for 30+ years - I will demand the terms and the process for a hearing 36 years later...especially if I’m an activist against a political party that supports the accusee.
#NOTMETOO.
“Solution for Grassley and McConnell is Simple”
Commit seppuku for the good of the country.
Grassley has been in a political office since Nixon and Kennedy debated (state) and federal since 1975. I mean, it’s time.
I agree they should vote it out of the committee and hold the floor vote after she testifies.
She’s not going to “testify”. This is a “recovered” memory and complete BS. She Can’t remember anything. One thing is clear: di fi refuses to give the un-redacted original letter to the committee...if it ever existed at all. The repubs are being played...as usual. Pathetic and disgusting!
It’s not about Flake. They’ll vote to confirm if forced to. They’re feminists and cowards, and they want the spectacle to stop the confirmation for them.
According to this Democrat publication tracking senators for the deluge of messages from manhaters and homos, the following Republicans (who bow to the feminist left) want more information and to hear testimony from Blasey and Kavanaugh.

Roy Blunt (R-MO)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Bob Corker (R-TN)
Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
Graham (R-SC)
Charles Grassley (R-IA)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Those Republican male feminist politicians want Kavanaugh to withdraw or to delay the process until after the elections.
just let her do a video testimony from Cali. Tue or Wed is OK. Hold committee vote Monday so the confirmation goes off on Friday.no biggie
Grassley lost control of his committee in the first hour of its first day.
It’s simple, really - just calendar a hearing for Wed. Everybody shows up, inc Kav. If she shows or not is up to her. They can sit there all day. Then vote on Friday.
I would prefer that Grassley show that he has both balls and spine and tell Ford to go pound sand and then hold the vote on Monday morning.
That is the only acceptable position to take. The idiotic games must be brought to a screeching halt.
How can you have the committee vote on Monday and then also hold hearings on it later in the week?
Too much already—just hold the vote on Monday!
Well point #2 is serioulsy flawed, you won’t get cooperation from the four RINOs.
We were on our way and then the GOP sh*t themselves.
