Grassley panel scraps Kavanaugh hearing, warns committee will vote without deal
The Hill ^ | 09/21/2018 | Jordain Carney

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.

It seems like no extensions from Grassley, according to this article/blog. Vote is officially set for Judge Kavanaugh and some lesser judges in an ‘Executive Business Meeting”, starting Monday 10AM. I don’t think Judge K will testify.

WTF is the GOP worried about? Women voters?


CNN asked women if they believe Judge Kavanaugh


Doesn't look like they have to worry that much! Just vote & confirm!!!!!!!!

We’ll soon know, won’t we? Meanwhile, I prefer to be optimistic.
