The woman who has accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers has committed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, her lawyers said on Sunday. The lawyers said some details — including whether an outside lawyer will question her — still needed to be resolved, but that those issues would not impede holding a hearing.
The agreement, reached after an hourlong negotiating session Sunday morning between the lawyers and committee aides, is the latest step in a halting process toward a potentially explosive hearing that will pit the woman, Christine Blasey Ford, against Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump’s second nominee to the Supreme Court. On Saturday, the two sides reached a tentative agreement for Dr. Ford to appear on Thursday.
The on-again, off-again talks — with an appointment to the nation’s highest court in the balance — have consumed official Washington, and thrown confirmation proceedings for Judge Kavanaugh, who has vigorously denied Dr. Ford’s allegations, into turmoil. Until last week, Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation seemed all but assured; that is no longer the case.
A few sticking points between the two sides remain, according to people familiar with the talks. One is who will testify first, Dr. Ford or Judge Kavanaugh. Republicans have rejected the idea that the judge would appear first. But perhaps the biggest sticking point is whether senators on the Judiciary Committee will question Dr. Ford themselves, or use an outside lawyer or a committee aide, most likely a woman.

The prosecution always goes first. If Kavanaugh goes first, he should sit there and say nothing other than, “Is there a question in my future? Perhaps Mzzzzz. Ford should speak first.”
Hawaii’s HIRONO says NO under any circumstances.
” Grassley should stop this farce. “
World’s Greatest Stuporpower.
Until she changes her mind on Wednesday.
When was the last time we actually heard anything from Grassley?
As long as we stoop from the heights of considering Kav's qualifications, litigations and rulings, down to the 'Rat level of anarchy...
Does that even count as "Second Base"? It sounds like in the area, but technically, is it? Well, on further thought, I guess in baseball, you successfully steal by touching the 2nd base cover, as opposed to the naked bag inside the cover. Wouldn't really work if each runner has to "tag" the base by pulling the cover off to touch the inside of it.
Her questioners should include Laura Ingraham, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh.
She testifies Thursday. Goes on the View on Friday, CNN on Sat. 60 Minutes on Sunday. They are trying to pick off a repub Senator or two. They just might get it done.
Its such a disgusting request the Gop should have
read them the riot and stopped all discussions.
There is no letter and no evidence . Is the Gop are so gutless they can not defend
Brent basic Rights .
This is the USA judicial committee stripping away basic rights in the constitution .
“She will ultimately back out and say that she refused to be bullied by the GOP, submit to their humiliating tactics, be forced to relive the trauma again, blah blah blah.”
The point and timing where she will breakdown and weep is already mapped out. The delay was due to her getting a crash course acting lesson. Spineless senators will fold like a depression era cardboard belt.
Well, this has to be the most ham-handed, poorly executed slime in history. Are the Democrats this stupid and incapable of fore thought? This is “hold muh beer” level implementation of a hit if ever I’ve seen it.
You know the statement “don’t ask a question unless you already know the answer.” So how the Hell are you so stupid as to publicly name witnesses who turn around and blow up your story? They never bothered to vet their witnesses, then they publicly name them? This is - forgive the term - retard-level planning. Who is running this show on the Democrat side, must be a Senator, no one else could be this sloppy.
Have these people been so used to just having their way that they don’t even bother to try to put together something that holds together for even a minute?
“or use an outside lawyer or a committee aide, most likely a woman.“
Not Ford’s people desperately want the optics of “old white dudes bullying an assault survivor “.
Her husband is a senior director of Zosano Pharma which apparently markets transdermal drug delivery systems for migraines and diabetes. Migraines... figures...
Certainly, the pharma industry is unhappy with Trump for getting rid of the TPP.

Grassley has caved twice; there’s no reason to believe the liar and her team won’t make additional demands for further caves, and they’ll probably succeed.
JUST END IT ALREADY!!!
Dollars to dunuts she’s a catfish.
There’s no reason in the world she couldn’t have been in DC Monday.
And whether or not Grassley caves to her demands - she won’t show up.
More lies. The Democrats have succeeded in getting the Committee vote postponed. They’re on roll.
Leaving Kavanaugh and the Republicans slowly twisting in the wind.
Thanks to our ed system graduating brainwashed and often functional illiterates we now have the ultimate dumbing down of America.
Large majority Opposes Kavanaugh’s nomination.
A commitment from a Democrat means nothing.
At the last moment as Charlie Brown punts, Lucy will snatch the football away.
It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
