Do Corker and Flake really need to hear her to decide how they will vote?
I give Corker credit, he's on the record saying if she doesn't testify then they should vote and he will support Kavanaugh.
I think Senator, Grassley should demand a commitment from Ms. Ford or her lawyers, today, that she will either attend the hearing set for next Monday to testify relative to her alleged accusations against Judge, Brett Kavanaugh or, she will refuse to attend, rejecting the generous offer and opportunity presented to her from the Senate Judicial Committee to publicly air her accusations.
If Ms. Ford does not respond by 5:00 PM today or refuses the invitation to be present, Senator, Grassley should cancel the special session on next Monday and he should schedule a committee vote Tomorrow, Thursday to move the Kavanaugh nomination to the full Senate, for an immediate up or down vote.....Case closed!!!
Maybe even Corker and Flake have finally realized that the Dem political/media cabal can ruin anyone's reputation, even life, whenever they choose. If someone who has an impeccable life history like Kavanaugh can be attacked like this, then so can any person, including Corker and Flake.

scheduling a hearing, especially probably already knowing Ford isn’t going to show, is simply a countermove against the anticipated attacks on the GOP by the Dems after Kavanaugh is affirmed ... the Dems are going to try to claim the Pubs tried to cover up high crimes and misdemeanors, and the Pubs can respond that they scheduled hearings on the issue and it’s not their fault the Dems fake accuser refused to show up ...
it’s not just corker and flake, it’s all of them and it’s simply a ploy to counter the Dem’s ploy ... and it’s a good move ... both corker and flake (as well as many others) have said if Ford doesn’t show up, then the Pubs will move forward with the committee and floor votes ...
Corker and Flake will do what the GOP Establishment tells them to do... Period... They are UNIPARTY hacks.. January can’t come quick enough so these guys are gone.
