The deadline in question was not an offer to extend negotiations. Weve already heard the answer that Ford is busy, dealing with intrusions and all the rest. She has had plenty of time to prepare for a trip to provide testimony that she requested. The meeting is scheduled for Monday afternoon in Washington, D.C. Given the way the committee has bent over backward, offering her multiple settings, including flying out to hear her testimony in California, with no need to travel, this is preposterous.
The way things have been going thus far, I wouldnt be shocked to see Grassley wind up opening a new line of negotiations over the evening, but he shouldnt do it. If Ms. Ford thinks shell have trouble getting to Washington by Monday afternoon, I assure you that we could find a donor with a private jet who will fly her. If all they want to do is stall more (which is all the Democrats want out of this dog and pony show) then theres a far better answer that the committee chair could give.
The hearing is already scheduled. Ford needs to go first because its ridiculous to expect the accused to answer charges that the accuser hasnt even made. Then both sides can be considered. But since the hearing is already scheduled, if she doesnt show up, allow Kavanaugh to make a brief statement in his own defense and move on to the vote. And after the committee has voted, hold the floor vote on Thursday as already planned. Its really as simple as that.

“Her writers are working overtime on story re-write.”
Working out when and how much to cry. Scripting how she accuses R’s on the committee of being mean to her. Does she say she forgives Kavanaugh? Trying it out in front of focus groups.
Such matters take time.
that response was “non-responsive” nothing to do but move on.Why is grassley silent?
probably waiting for a Hawaiin judge to come in from surfing
I think Kavanaugh can join the court as soon as he's confirmed. There may a stipulation that he's confirmed within X amount of days after hearings or his nomination, but we don't know specifics.
meeting? what happened to hearing?
Grassley should not respond now. Go incognito until Monday AM. Just show up and do business. If lying leftist hack doesnt show up then too bad. She was invited and no showed. Simple dimple squeeze that pimple.
It’s sad that even on THIS the Repukes don’t have a governing majority
I thought she’s invited for Wednesday.
GROW A SPINE. GRASSLEY!! VOTE MONDAY!! yeah....right.....she’ll string you out until February, PUSSY!
They need to call a press conference and say its obvious that Ms Ford is not serious and they will proceed.
Statistics show that a large percentage of psychiatrists and psychologists are alcoholics, and drug abusers, and they have a high rate of suicide as well. As Tom Lantos (D-Ca.) told Craig Livingstone, "At least Admiral Boorda had the decency to commit suicide." Chrissy Ford should heed the words of a fellow Democrat.
Probably because he and McConnell are herding 49 cats. There has to be unanimity before Grassley can formerly reject the latest BS.
They also need to prepare a press conference and thorough press release.

Jeff Flake, who has been going along with Democrat efforts to delay testimony from Kavanaughs accuser, is preparing to vote present on Kavanaugh when his nomination comes to a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, per sources.

You missed a visit to The Alamo, and The Grassy Knoll.
My recollection is that Flake said last week that wants to hear Ford’s story, but he said if she doesn’t show up on Monday, they should vote. Corker made similar sounds. I think it is just the ladies that need to get on board.
Finally, an honest headline and article.
This.
Grassley and Mitch are stuck with the uterus queens and corker and flake on the fence
Without Manchin crossing over we can only lose one of those four
Grassley and the rest of the RINOcrat geldings will bend over and spread their cheeks to whatever the Demonicrats and their leftist scum want to do to them.
Just tell her that she can do it Monday in person or by Skype.
Allot plenty of time to allow for alleged technical difficulties that are as authentic as her allegations.
Problem solved.
