Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker said Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of high school-era sexual assault, needs to respond to Senate inquiries, and that the Judiciary Committee should move on if she declines.
I would hope that if someone has been given the opportunity to voice a concern that they have that they would do so, Corker told The Daily Caller News Foundation in the U.S. Capitol Tuesday afternoon. So that would be quite something, if she decided she did not want to testify. I would assume the committee would then move on, as they should.
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who has been on the fence about Kavanaugh, said earlier Tuesday that she finds it very puzzling that Ford will not respond to inquiries from the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying shes now being given an opportunity to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee and to answer questions and I really hope that she doesnt pass up that opportunity.

Corker told Politico on Sunday he believed it would be best for all involved, including the nominee if they were able to tell their sides of the story in front of the committee. However, according to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, she has so far ignored repeated inquiries from the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I felt thaf if more stuff came out of the woodwork, it would have responsible for him to withdraw.
A Supreme Court seat isnt worth the damage to ones reputation and personal life.
Thaf isnt happpening so Kavanaugh is standing his ground and is going to fight back.
As things stand now, he can prevail and win.
They already delayed the vote.
Lets see what happens Monday.
If this LYING BITCH does not reply to invitation to appear the vote should take place immediately on Monday!!!
If Corker and Collins are indicating the Senate should move on, i take it as a good sign for the nomination...
Oh I never have. I was thinking of a worst case scenario.
Its not as bad as I feared: The dam isnt breaking and no one needs to circle the wagons.
Its not only containable - its winnable.
Yup. Reminds me of the joke - sex is a private matter - until it isnt.
Finally a Republican with a spine. Bless you Senator Former!
Don’t kid yourself -— she’s being prepped around the clock right now. Her attorney is involved with Soros’ foundation. No way they won’t let her testify. By Monday, she’ll be loaded for bear, with corroborating witnesses, dates, locations, etc. When you’re being financed by Soros, your resources are bottomless. Feinstein is party, along with any other democrat involved, in a carefully timed trap to stop this nominee, at such a time, so as to delay the vote, at the very least, until after the midterms they’re hoping they’ll win, and have his nomination withdrawn, at the most. That she deliberately sat on it, should get her kicked off the Judiciary committee. Chuck Schumer announced from the start, that they would do everything in their power to keep Kavanaugh off the SC.
But do NOT be dismayed; God is greater than lies, schemes, and any evil plans and works of the devil. Have faith and pray without ceasing.
IF it turns out that he really DID do what he’s accused of, of course, then he blew it by not coming right out and admitting it. The FACT that probably 50% of male members of Congress, who are judging him, have done the same or much, much worse, is, sadly, immaterial. God only knows the whole truth, and I’m putting my trust in Him.
LOL, only a Former had spine. Corker on the other hand . . .
Those three all need to have their asses kicked by Lindsey Graham. What a Pay-Per-View that would be.
You may be right about her being prepped. Time will tell.
You are definitely right about Who is in control and Whose help we implore.
OMG. Corker is not being a corker?
The woman is apparently mentally unstable. She sees a psychiatrist for God knows how many “problems”. Likely, she will suicide in the future. So sad...
Yep, and they should give the woman until noon Friday to confirm she will testify on Monday, or not, then if she will not commit to testifying, Grassley should schedule the committee vote for Monday and the weekend can be used to firm up the Republican votes.
Even Linda tonight on fox was showing he is pissed
Said, we aren’t playing these games anymore. She can be heard Monday then BK.
Then we vote on weds.
You know what they say about a scorned women ;)
Now I am hearing this woman’s attorney is demanding conditions on cross examination
lol...their plan I think was just to throw this out in the media and screw things up that way. I don’t think they really WANTED her in front of the committee. If they did they would have brought this out WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.
Yes. Grassley called their bluff and now the accuser is caving.
Get Flake aboard.
This makes NO sense.
Shit that 'comes out of the woodwork' is to be, prima facie -- on the face of it -- completely discarded in favor of evidence built over time; that is, that this honorable man, Judge Kavanaugh...
If anything, the Left is upset precisely because Kavanaugh has been careful in his professional interactions, and thusly he has every right to take hardass positions at SCOTUS!
This is a man who decided early in his life to take the straight and narrow pathway, AND THE FBI CONDUCTED SIX INVESTIGATIONS INTO HIM THAT CONSISTENTLY RETURNED THE SAME CONCLUSION: KAVANAUGH RODE THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.
I retract my earlier encomium and re-assert that you are a truly dumb attention whore, which is unbefitting any man of your age.
