The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a Friday morning vote on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, according to a committee notice.
The vote on Kavanaugh is slated to come just one day after he is scheduled to testify in front of the panel on allegations of sexual misconduct.
One of the two women who has come forward to accuse Kavanaugh of misconduct, Christine Blasey Ford, is also scheduled to testify on Thursday.
“As a procedural matter, the Judiciary Committee today noticed a potential executive business meeting for Friday, September 28 at 9:30 a.m,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) office said in the notice.
“Committee rules normally require executive business meetings to be noticed three days in advance, so an executive business meeting is being noticed tonight in the event that a majority of the members are prepared to hold one on Friday,” they added.
The vote was initially set for Monday but postponed after committee staff and lawyers for Ford got a deal on a public hearing.

She will show up, the Dems will demand that the hearing be suspended, then when Grassley rules that the hearing will proceed and just when she is to be sworn in all the Dems will walk out in protest. Since the committee rules require at least on member of the minority for a quorum the hearing will be cancelled. All of this is, of course, predicated on whether or not Ford had submitted he written testimony prior to the hearing, (two days prior if my memory is correct). I’m not sure if she will submit her written testimony since it is submitted under penalty of perjury, If she doesn’t she can not be allowed to testify.
Good is much more powerful than evil which follows the path of least resistance.
Wouldn’t put it past them.
These people are SICK!
i agree. but they are rinos.
Just Do It!
Should have been Tuesday. (Afraid to fly....right.)
She should have had it in today. I assume Grassley would have said something had she missed the deadline.
This is the “senator” who lied about serving in Vietnam.
bomb threat means change of venue....
If not available then nearest location of last Wrestlemania.
Specify: Kavanaugh vs. Ford cage match not allowed for final decision even if ratings bonanza.
Senate rules, you know.
Skelator only cares a bout getting his greasy face on TV. He knows damn well that Ford’s story is missing all the key pieces of information and any witnesses to back up any of the vague claims she has made. He made in intention to vote “no” within hours of Kav being announced simply because Trump nominated him.
He has always been a grandstanding liar who is willing to use anyone to hurt Trump and republicans and then throw them under the bus when no longer needed.
If the GOP had balls they would tell her no and invite every conservative media outlet in.
Well, call n the troops and order the fasciists to disberse.
The Insane Unwashed Marxists hired by Soros, Hillary, DNC, etc. will be out in force. I sure hope LEOs are there with appropriate equipment to deal with them. Might be a good idea to build some stockades to throw them in so they can be fingerprinted, photographed, and charged right on the spot.
I hope they used pencil. This crap will never end.
I heard she has been in Delaware since August.
Snake in the Grassly.
If Ford has submitted her written testimony no one has mentioned it yet. Would love to know because that would increase the odds of her showing up.
1. Seven Members of the Committee, actually present, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of discussing business. Nine Members of the Committee, including at least two Members of the minority, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business. No bill, matter, or nomination shall be ordered reported from the Committee, however, unless a
majority of the Committee is actually present at the time such action is taken and a majority of those present support the action taken.
2. For the purpose of taking down sworn testimony, a quorum of the Committee and each Subcommittee thereof, now or hereafter appointed, shall consist of one Senator.
IV. BRINGING A MATTER TO A VOTE
The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is objection to bring the matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with eleven votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority.
But................
Senate Rule XXVI
3) The vote of any committee to report a measure or matter shall require the concurrence of a majority of the members of the committee who are present.
Also: a member of the Minority would have to be there to call for a quorum LOL!
Senate rules are nuts!
I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to dig the past few days and hadn’t heard anything at all. So I guess her whining about not being able to teach since her name was released, due to press showing up at her classroom, would be another lie to add to the list if she’s been in Delaware.
Unless she’s mastered astral projection. :-)
Don’t get Borked again, GOP. Use the Democrat’s tactics against them for once.
