“a sexual assault survivor “

It sure does dilute the seriousness of people who are ACTUAL sexual assault survivors. It’s an insult to them.

When I was 22, a coworker drove me home from work and made an unplanned stop along the way, behind a building. He had Big Plans for him and me together and it was getting serious. Finally I was able to make it stop. (I told him I would tell our boss the next day. Our boss was scary!) I don’t consider myself a sexual assault survivor. I’m not scarred for life. I’m not afwaid to fwy in an aihpwane. It’s pathetic what these demonic people are doing.

Tucker Carlson’s track record on these things is sketchy. Go back over some of the outlandish claims he’s made in recent months and notice how many of them never panned out.

Who is? her or her attorney? Is she is they should just consider her null and void. Trying the case in the court of public opinion before a formal accusation is even filed with the Senate committee?

"Rumor is she is going to be on 60 minutes"

Ford? or her lawyer? Whichever it is won't help their case. Ford claimed she wanted to remain anonymous, so if she shows up on national TV, then that claim is blown to hell. Since she doesn't want to fly, Grassley has offered to send his staff out to her so she could make a deposition. If 60 Minutes is flying out to interview her, why then should she be given a hearing on Monday since anything she'd say on Monday would already have been said and made public on Sunday? Why give her an extra day to consider the counter proposal when it took her less time to accept an interview from 60 Minutes?

“If Grassley caves he should consider his days in Washington numbered.”

Grassley is 85 years old. Certainly his days are numbered.

“Senator Grassley should stop allowing them to stall.”

What is his f***ing PROBLEM? This Katz woman is like a cat playing with a pathetic half-dead mouse — Grassley. He’s an embarrassment. He has to admit he’s in a lose-lose situation because no matter what he does, they’ll be spinning it to their advantage. Once he realizes that, then he has to figure he has nothing to lose and he can do his JOB.

“Your cavalier treatment . . .

I think the committee's treatment has been most generous.

of a sexual assault survivor . . .

We don't even know if that's true, do we? Much less that it involved Judge Kavanaugh.

who has been doing her best to cooperate with the Committee . . .

Really? Delay, delay, delay. Excuse, excuse, excuse.

. . . is completely inappropriate.”

This statement is completely laughable.

They're stalling...they're stalling...they're stalling.I heard that there's some kind of legal/procedural timeline that says that if a final vote doesn't happen by Thursday it can't happen until next year.

If,by chance,that's the case then of course that's their goal...delay until Friday.

All Nonsense. Justice Gorsuch was seated on April 10, 2017, well into the Term of the Supreme Court that began on the First Monday of October 2016. He participated in arguments on April 18, 2017 in the case: Ricky Henson, et al., petitioners v. Santander Consumer USA Inc. The case was decided on June 12, 2017. Pay attention class.

Here is what happens:

If no one has been confirmed by October 1, which is beginning to look more and more likely, then the Court will convene with just eight justices, and more importantly, with the conservative and liberal “blocs” on the Court deadlocked with four justices each. Yes, a subsequently confirmed justice can ascend to the bench the moment she or he is cleared by the Senate. But the new justice will typically not vote on cases in which oral arguments were heard in their absence

"Wonder what happens now..."

We'll find out whether Senator Grassley is a disciplined man or an effeminate boy. When a flood occurs, men don't go around sticking their fingers in dykes. They do what needs to be done, instead.

"So... they charter a flight and sedate her, ala “Mr T”, and she shows up in DC."

I said she should simply pretend she's 15 again, get blistered drunk on the plane, and forget everything...forget what day it is, forget how she got on the plane, forget who was on the plane, forget how she got off the plane, where she went after the plane landed, and how she got back home again.
