Grassley is giving them rope to hang themselves in order to be able to say he tried. Otherwise the DNC press and Democrats will use this for the mid-terms. They will anyway but Grassley is making them look demanding.If Grassley ends up showing some spine and proceeds, he has to say explicitly that the Democrats were just playing a game to run out the clock and prevent a vote from ever taking place. But he probably won't. That's if he even schedules a vote.

Grassley is not caving. He does not have the votes to confirm. As soon as he does, he will vote. Somebody on the republican side is holding outInteresting theory but not plausible. If a Republican is holding out despite Grassley inviting Ford to testify, then I can't conceive of what would cause them to vote for Kavanaugh under any conditions, in which case they'd just pull the nomination.

I suspect that soon it will be even stevens: GOP will have 1 scalp (Garland), and the Dems will have 1 scalp (Kavanaugh). Here’s to returning to proper order on the next SCOTUS nominee, whether a Dem or GOP submission, and make sure the “dirt” is entered early on to avoid surprises like this.
The GOP: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

So, how long do you think Grassley, et al. should continue to toss the press’s salad?

Senator Grassley never should have done this. You will see why in the next few days.
To: dowcaet
It’s all about delaying the vote and pushing it past next Thursday so there won’t be a vote at all.Why won't there be a vote? Kavanaugh can be voted in at anytime and can take his place on the SC at anytime. There are no fixed times or dates.
Granted, it would be nice if Kavanaugh could be sworn in before the court convenes (Oct 1, I believe). But nothing is cast in stone.

Now that makes sense. I did not know that. Thanks!

Grassley is a limp dick of a man.
