RESCHEDULED NOTICE OF COMMITTEE HEARING CONTINUATION
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing on the nomination of the Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States will continue on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
By order of the Chairman.
I must be missing the point.
They had scheduled a vote for tomorrow. They’ve postponed it and are going to reopen hearings to get testimony from Kavanaugh and Ford on Thursday.
That’s from Thursday. It’s moot.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing on the nomination of the Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States will continue on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
By order of the Chairman.
Guess not.
September 27 is Thursday.
Isn’t Thursday the last day to vote before the nomination expires?
September 23,2018 is today.
Don’t know.
The committee vote and the continuation of the hearing are two separate events. This notice is silent on the committee vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination as well the vote on the District judges.
I see know,they think she will actually show up;)
Has the vote been postponed?
I still doubt that she will show up on Thursday, but the committee vote needs to occur on Monday in order to have a final vote of the entire Senate on Friday. The committee vote just sends the nomination to the entire Senate for their action. They don’t need to hear Scene 1, Act 1 of Christine Ford’s dramatic performance in order to vote the nomination out of the committee.
Of course, the committee vote could be postponed as well, but I don’t think that has happened yet.
Looks like it has again,we all want to hear from Professor Christine Blasey Ford;)
I don’t think so, but they don’t usually call me to let me know what’s going on.
Waiting for all this information to get an audience during her testimony is a fools wait as far as I am concerned. They have another week to drive Kavanaugh into the mud.
Even low life criminal democrat lawyers understand the consequences of putting an unprepared client on the stand. Everyone heard about the “Murder Boards” to prepare Kavanaugh for the Confirmation Hearings. Our Dear Professor has been enduring her own set of murder boards and since the Democrats believe that life as they know it will end if Kavanaugh is confirmed you can imagine what those Murder Boards have been like. My guess is that she hasn’t done well. Sounds to me that she is a bit of a delicate flower in terms of emotional stability.
And the committee is bowing to her every demand; a woman whose own witnesses have debunked all of her assertions.
Please explain your meaning by this comment. If you are going to assert that if he is not seated by October 1, 2018, then he will have to sit out the entire term of the Supreme Court, you would be mistaken, that's an urban legend and is not true. He can join the Court as soon as he is confirmed and he can participate in deliberations. By tradition, new Justices who have missed one or more oral arguments refrain from voting on those particular cases. You can see the Docket at the link below. There is no clock, it is not clicking and he can jump right in as soon as the Senate confirms him. It's like getting traded from the Yankees to the Red Sox, as soon as he gets to the Club House at Fenway, he gets his Red Sox uniform and takes the field. Justice Gorsuch was confirmed on April 7, 2017, sworn in on April 10, 2017 and participated in oral arguments on April 18, 2017. Justice Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for that case. Look it up. Here's the docket, based on when he's confirmed, you can see what he might miss. https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_calendars/MonthlyArgumentCalOctober2018.pdf
And why do you think that Senator Grassley has had to do that? The answer is the four wobbly Republican Senators: Collins, Corker, Flake, and Murkowski. Especially Flake who sits on the Judiciary Committee and can gum up the works if decides to have a temper tantrum. Politics is ugly, especially in the Senate where they all think that they are God's gift to the United States of America.
