Washington (CNN)Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley agreed late Friday night to allow the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault more time to decide whether to testify before Congress.
Apparently (per the article) the new deadline is 2:30 PM Saturday. God only knows if Grassley and the committee actually mean it this time.

An obvious conclusion and why we need to vote no matter what in Nov. We need extras to offset the losers on our side until we can weed them out completely.
He will only testify after her. Monday is a vote.
Another countdown begins.........pushing the goal line over and over with various excuses is obvious the game. We can name this tune in one note!
Does it matter? It is obvious who is running this show... as usual the GOP is like the little piglets than ran crying wee wee wee all the way home.
NOW, if there was a true representative of the people and their Constitution, they would demand to see the accuser's unredacted letter! How can Grassley proceed when he has not even heard a detail of the charges? Turns out: no, that does not matter.
I make this BOLD judgment:
If Judge Kavanaugh agrees to present his defense before he hears the accusations against him, then he should be removed from the Federal Bench! That is outside of Roman law, two millennia of western justice, common law and the U.S. Constitution. How can he be expected to protect the Constitution if he himself will not uphold its basic time-tested principles?
Why hasn't Grassley addressed this gross unjust demand? Because he is a sheep, a coward and a traitor to all that we hold dear if he does not reject such a precedent. {{right... looking forward to a 'pubbie with some guts... Phooey!}}
She’s going on 60 Minutes. That is what the democrat jerk said (threatened) last night on Tucker. cant remember his name...will look it up.....
3.5 hours from right now, then its over.
Then, 3.5 more hours, then 3.5 more hours, then 2 more hours, etc.......
I hope it's over in 3+ hours, but I don't think so!
Just vote!
This whole thing has been disgraceful, one woman with her outrageous demands holding up a Senate Committee.
Grassley has given her too many extensions, the courtesy is over, Fish or Cut Bait.
I would not blame Kavanugh if he pulled out, it’s not worth it.
Grassley needs to call the former high school student who did an analysis of the ‘crime’ and has come up with a theory based on Ford’s memories and his memory of the house and a student who looked like Kavanaugh...
Wasn’t the Monday vote canceled? If so, 3 days notice must be given before a vote according to committee rules. That means the earliest vote would be Tuesday????
I hope you plan to make a donation to Grassley’s campaign after Judge BK is seated on the SCOTUS in ten days. Because this is what is happening. It isn’t about optics. It is about results.
How about she can’t fly so has to drive...
Many of us predicted last night that Grassley would fold again
after the 10 PM deadline. And yes, he folded again.
Past history indicates he will fold again.
He seems to enjoy being used.
Have you seen the picnic table photo?
Her “interview” on 60 minutes, not under oath, will eliminate any need to hitchhike to DC and testify under oath and face Kavanaugh.
Then let Mitch take it to the Senate anyway, which he can do, and flip the game on them. All those Dem/Commie Senators from purple states get to go on record also.
Let’s start with the delay of 36 YEARS to attack Kavanaugh, even though he was presented by the Democrats years earlier for confirmation as a Justice. STRIKE ONE! She attended party where alcohol was served to minors. STRIKE TWO! There is no police report, or school report, or physical evidence, or even a witness willing to come forward to an incident that the victim claims she doesn’t know where, or when it happened, and it was among juveniles, whose court records would normally be sealed and then tossed, because, well, that’s how much it matters to adults. STRIKE THREE!
“She will say no, Kavanaugh will testify on Monday”
Kavanaugh will not testify if Ford doesn’t. That would be stupid. The DEMs get to beat up on Kavanaugh with their questioning.
If Ford doesn’t testify, Kavanaugh won’t. It will go straight to a committee vote.
I hope and pray karma makes an unwelcomed visit soon to all the liars and deceivers who propagate their evil schemes without shame concerning Judge Kavanaugh.
1. She agrees to testify Wednesday.[ ETA-Grassley flops]
2. She declines to testify and will tell her story to Ronan Farrow instead.[ETA-Grassley flops]
3. She agrees to testify but imposes additional demands, to be negotiated.[ETA-Grassley -flops]
4. She asks for more time to make this life-altering
decision.[ETA-Grassley flops]
Is there a pattern here?
TWB
Somebody who fits BK's profile did something to her. It could have even been him.
This kind of stuff happens every single day in American suburbs. The kids are horny, full of misinformation and poor socialization, signals get crossed.
I have five daughters, and all of them have friends that similar things have happened to.
Now, the problem is that our leadership clique has become finely attuned to "her" story, to the point that they are closed to "his" story, to the other side of the coin, if you will.
As I said on another thread, no, I never threw a girl onto a bed (not when I was 17), but, once she was on the bed already, well, stuff happens.
BK's only possible defense was/is the truth. He may lose anyway, but if he lied about any of this, what was a minor teenage stupid boy thing will destroy him.
It's very concerning that, this morning, a "BK associate" is alleged to have looked her upon Linkedin back in July. If BK know who she was in June or July, and failed to say then, "That tramp? The one they called Choo-Choo? I would never go near her!" then he's not getting on the court.
