The stipulation was a week or less.
Flake even explicitly said “one week, it may not even take that long.”
I don’t get why people here are freaking out over this now. I think it all worked out pretty well, especially considering Kavanaugh got voted favorably out of committee too.
People are freaking out about this, because of fear that with further delays, the liberals are going to dig up further allegations.
The Ramirez and Sweatnick allegations came out during the time delay that was granted to negotiate with Ford’s attorneys about the structure of her testimony.
We are freaking out a bit because of fears that the liberals are going to pull the same bullcrap again.
Same here. We need the votes and we don't yet have them. If a few more days are what's needed to secure them, fine. We get ONE shot at a Senate vote.
The chief instigator of this whole scheme, Senator Coons said a "week to investigate this and any new allegations."
All this scheme does is give notice to every crackpot out there that you have one week to get your allegations in. Then the indefinite delays begin.
I hope you're right but I think that Flake and others got played big time.
Cannot put enough make up on this pig
A done deal on Monday with floor vote vs a week, or longer, delay to manufacturer more fraudulent accusations?
We have no patience and have been on a Roller Coast of emotion. But need to stay positive.
I agree. I think the perfect response yesterday by Kavanaugh to the call for an investigation would have been-“OK, I’ll make a deal. I’ll ask for an investigation if all of you promise to apologize to me and my family on National TV when it comes back the way we say it’s coming back. Deal? And to YOU, Senator Booker, I want you to look the American people in the eye and apologize to me for calling me evil. Do we have a deal?” The only way to beat these guys is to call their bluff. You have to know, and that they don’t really want an investigation. They want a talking point. I would have called their bluff. A week is nothing. Show America who they are.
