On Thursday is a full cave. That’s the one point I wish they stuck to, but I guess Collins/Flake wouldn’t allow them to.

The DATE of the testimony was the least important item under consideration. Who the hell cares when that happens?

The format of the testimony is the most critical, and you can be damn sure Grassley is sticking to his guns on that several of those terms: Ford goes first, and the witness has no right to call other witnesses (just typing that last line made me realize how absurd that demand is).

They will drop another bomb. this time a big one and the nomination will go down the toilet. Grassley is an idiot.

Which makes me wonder if some or most of those demands aren’t red herrings.

How do you know? Grassley has been caving to Ford for a week now. So, he’ll suddenly grow a pair next week? Grassley is an embarrassment.

I guess you don't understand the difference between Wednesday (what the Republicans wanted) and Thursday (what Ford wanted) and why that was a sticking point.

Hearing on Wednesday = committee vote on Friday
Hearing on Thursday = committee vote delayed till Monday
