The hearings were put off because they did NOT have the votes to confirm him, that simple. Flake, Collins, Murkowski, they were NOT going to vote for him that’s why they went along with the delay
The hearings were put off because they wanted to dig up lying women to smear the judge. And Grassley was too stupid to see it. If you don’t believe me, believe Dem journalist, Never Trumper, Karen Tumulty who spilled the beans.
The most worrisome aspect of that is that it means no Dems, not Jones, or Manchin, or Donnelly, or Heitkamp, are going to break ranks.
