The Senate Judiciary Committee is postponing a high-stakes hearing set for early next week on the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The committee announced on Friday that the Monday hearing — where both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, had been invited to speak — was being called off.
Instead, Grassley said in a statement Friday that he is giving Ford’s lawyers until 10 p.m. on Friday to respond to the GOP request for her to testify on Wednesday. If they do not, or if Ford declines to testify, Grassley said the Judiciary Committee will vote Monday on Kavanaugh's nomination.

This is your last chance, really. The committee will vote if you don't agree to testify. Really this time.

Nuke Kavanaugh in. NOW
Call it “The Reid Option” when you do it, too.

It seems that repubs have 51 votes. Kavanaugh gets in and the dems have a campaign issue. Then we will see how it plays.

Another weak cave. Grassley has in effect given in to her demands to cancel the hearings on Monday and moved it to Wednesday which is only a day short of the Thursday she asked for. How pathetic is that.
Senator Grassley, where is your spine?
To: Sarah Barracuda
Consider the time that she needs to invest, like writing the lies down, and having her leftist activist lawyers incorporate Democratic talking points into the lies.

It’s about time they called her bluff. I predict she will not come and testify.
