Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, sits on the Judiciary Committee and had previously said the committee should hold off on voting until they hear from the accuser. However, Flake said Tuesday that if Ford fails to appear at the hearing scheduled for Monday, he would support his party's push to move forward on a vote on Kavanaugh.
"I think we'll have to move to the markup," he told CNN.
Flake said he's hopeful Ford will accept the committee's invitation and speak at the hearing. "I hope she does. I think she needs to be heard," he said.

There you go now Jeff. But of course you’ll never get a job in media which is your dream.

I believe this will all fail and Kavanaugh gets confirmed. Now, though, he will not get any Democrat votes. Since we know its a sham if a Democrat (from a red state) votes to confirm, as long as Kavenaugh is confirmed Im not seeing the downside if Manchin and his ilk show their true colors.

Well, he’s not totally hopeless.....

Ford won’t show up on Monday. But we’ll hear nothing but whining about how unfair it is that she hasn’t been given enough time to prepare for a hearing. She needs to be given 2-3 months to prepare for the interrogation, they’ll say. What’s the rush?

Perhaps it just me being cynical,
of course she is going to show up - she doesn't get paid unless she does. Look she could show up and say "Hey I made this all up" and the MSM would cover for her.
This is all choreographed, poorly.

If that pos is willing to vote yes then this has got to be an obvious scam
To: Helicondelta
I definitely think she’ll show. She didn’t go the letter & interview dog & pony show route for nothing.

I wouldn’t care if she was credible. Manipulating the process in this way has to be made ineffective and preferably punished. There needs to be a strong disincentive for Dems to play the system in bad faith like this.

I would laugh hysterically if he got a bunch of dem votes.
Maybe there are some with a conscience and some sense of integrity who are sick of this crap and will turn on their party.
A girl can dream.

So why won’t she talk to them on Monday. This woman has been thinking about it for 35 years it ruined her life to the point she only has a Phd., a husband, 2 homes and 2 children she has had it tough.
Now is her moment in the sun the limelight she is a hero to the #metoo movement and she does not want to talk seems odd to me.
Me thinks she is a big fat liar democrat scumbag. I say drag her ass down there and make her talk under oath and if she lies she gets stunned gunned or water boarded it could be her choice.
