Bluff Called: Grassley Gives Debra Katz & Co. One More Day("Moron" grassly cave in)
townhall.com ^ | 9/22/2018 | Timothy Meads

Yesterday evening, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) gave attorney Debra S. Katz an ultimatum - agree to reasonable testimonial terms for her client and alleged sexual assault survivor Professor Christine Blasey Ford by 10:00 PM Friday or the Senate would go ahead and vote on Monday to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In return, Katz accused the senator of establishing an "arbitrary" deadline and flatly declined to comply with his request and instead asked for one more day. Shortly after midnight, Sen. Grassley agreed to give Katz and her client one more day.

McConnell needs to spare Grassley all this pain and suffering

and just remove the nomination from Grassley’s dysfunctional committee and take the nomination directly to the floor to confirmation now

leaving Grassley swing in the wind like this is a horrible sight to see

Grassley is not caving. STOP ACCEPTING THEIR PREMISE THE MEDIA/DEMOCRATS ARE LYING.

I think Grassley should find airport footage of her boarding a plane to New Zealand and have Juanita sit in.

I would NOT assume the pic was real——even for this woman.

When LBJ was Sen. Majority Leader back in the Eisenhower era, he would have taken renegade senators like Flake into his private office and threatened them, their family and told them if they didn’t vote the way they wanted, they were finished and they woulnd’t be ablt to get elected to County Park commisioner.

Soon somebody is going to have to say, “No more.”

Deflect, defy, delay, deny.

All time-honored (but not honorable) strategies of the Democrat socialist progressive liberal left.

When the facts and the logic are both not on your side, bang the table with your shoe and call the other side the whole litany of bad names.

We have heard this song before.

I’m amazed and disheartened that so many FReepers want to blame Grassley for this.

If nothing else, he’s been solid on getting judges through his committee

It's been posted right here on FR, and unfortunately, because it's otherwise quite hilarious, it has been debunked.

It's been "on them internets" for several years, and was actually used as a book cover by some bizarre runninganddrinking society... "The hash house people" or some such thing...

The picture of the woman passed out on a picnic table has been on the internet for many years. While anything is possible, I think there is a 1 in 7 billion chance that it is Ford. It’s probably some Russian. Or a girl from the UK.

In view of the fact that DiFi refuses to provide the unredacted letter, I don’t think that the Repubs owe this Ford woman any consideration including even bothering to hear her statement.

Regardless of that - using Democrat standards - it is a “substantially accurate” picture of what happened and should be considered by the committee as evidence. :)

I actually pick a street address, city and zip code. And the funny thing is that you get on these a$$holes mailing lists as a consequence. I did it to Elizabeth Dole, and she sent me personal e-mails. Ditto for Orrin Hatch, who got all “wet” when I told him (truthfully) that my great grandfather founded a town in Utah at the behest of Brigham Young.

This is not an "arbitrary" deadline. According to Tucker Carlson, THURSDAY IS A SIGNIFICANT DATE IN THIS STORY in terms of Kavanaugh's nomination expiring according to Senate rules "which are complex."

At the following link scroll down for the Tucker Carlson Tonight video.

If the nomination still goes through, it’s worth it for the appearance of fairness. Reduce the leverage that the thugs on the totalitarian left get from pretending this is an issue. If the nomination fails, this will be a catastrophe, but that hardly matters since it’ll be one of innumerable catastrophes - just a question of how many days holding that one position might have delayed our second civil war.

Okee dokee. Heard they were moving the deadline again to 2:57 p.m. You, of course, may call it what you like. After two missed/opposed deadlines, I call it caving to offer more.

Yep. Bluff called. Ford and her butch Attorney called Grassley’s bluff
again. And I’m guessing they will continue to call Grassley’s bluff
until Kavanaugh has had enough and decides to withdraw.
And then all hell will break out at the GOP weak sisters from base
voters.

I ONLY put the zip code on all of the mail that I have to address myself——town and state are a waste of time.

Find vacant lots on Google Earth i anybody’s district/state., e.g. 1020 W. Detroit Ave. Indianola, IA for Grassley.

Five minutes on Google Earth and five minutes to use address to send Grassley an email and he’ll be flooded with “constituent” backlash.

BTW, does Christine Blassey-Ford really exist?

Yeah it is/they are easy when you figure it out. When I was still in FL, hairy screed got some scathing letters from me. I got boiler plate responses of course. But no visits from the fbi.
