Oh yeah, speaking of those hearings, that would have been a good time to bring this story to the fore don't you think? I mean, if it wasn't meant to be used as just another underhanded tactic to delay the confirmation that is.
What hopefully will come out of this recent B.S. accusation is that it will finally make the SANE people left in the Democrat party either clean house or rethink their vote in the future. These ideologues have destroyed a man's life as well as his family.

Because this obvious attempt to stall and run out the clock is not going to work. Just face it.

And Dr. Ford’s life was forever changed when Kavanaugh tried to stick his smelly body part way too close to her. He’s a total jerk and we need a different candidate for Supreme Court Judge, because Kavanaugh is a Supreme jerk.

I see no reason to wait for her to speak and think her attorney is doing a disservice trying to negotiate something with the GOP.

They didn't even bother to give a reason. What is the question they are trying to resolve? It's hilarious how they are literally pulling out all the stops to causing small delays. This tells me they have more stunts in store.

With this level of logic and reasoning, Republicans will be nominating El Chapo next.

If people were threatening your life, would you maybe need an extra day to speak with the FBI about those threats?

Of course they do. Delay, delay, delay and throw as many road blocks in front of Republicans as possible. If I were Grassley, I'd tell them it's over, bye bye.

They responded with 9 minutes to spare ....... and as expected ......... More Delay.

Kavanaugh accuser's lawyer requests additional day to decide on testimony
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 09/21/18 09:51 PM EDT|. The Hill


Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, are asking the Judiciary Committee for an additional day to make a decision about testifying.

Debra Katz, a lawyer for Ford, sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee staff on Friday night calling the 10 p.m. timeline set by Chairman Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) staff "arbitrary" and an "aggressive and artificial" deadline.

"Its sole purpose is to bully Dr. Ford and deprive her of the ability to make a considered decision that has life-altering implications for her and her family. She has already been forced out of her home and continues to be subjected to harassment, hate mail, and death threats," Katz wrote.

"Our modest request is that she be given an additional day to make her decision," she continued.

The email comes after Grassley's staff said they had given Ford until 10 p.m. on Friday to reach an agreement on their offer for a public hearing next Wednesday or they would move forward with a committee vote Monday on Kavanaugh's nomination.


More DELAY and more WHINE ....... they are "Special" and should be able to tell the US Senate what to do. "Rules" are for the little people ...... you know, the Normal People.

As of tonight ...... Senator Grassley and the Republican Members STILL have no idea what is in their Infamous Letter that only the Media (and Diane Feinstein, the Ranking member) apparently have access to.

Senator Grassley should just ignore them at this point. Either the Judicial Committee & US Senate has the power of Advise and Consent on Judicial Appointments -- or some Lawyer named Katz and some woman none of them ever heard of named Dr. Ford have usurped that power that the US Constitution says belongs to the US Senate.

Normal People want this Circus that began with PAID for Protestors and a #Resistance-Obstructionist War against the US Voters over with it. Normal People actually think we have more important things to deal with than a whiney woman who has a 36 year old whine that she never thought was important until Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the US Supreme Court.

We would like Tax Cuts to be permanent
We would like to deal with our failing and almost broke Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid systems.
We would like the Border Crisis to be solved
We would like the Immigration Programs fixed -- including DACA for those kids that were brought here.
We would like the Opioid Crisis to be addressed
We would like to STOP the flood of Illegal Aliens flooding across the borders
We would like the Infrastructure in the US to be repaired/replaced
We would like the Corruption cleaned out of Washington & fix out Bloated Federal Government

We are the Normal People ....... the #Resistance is only interested in Impeachment and Hate against the US President and those who voted for him. They want Socialism and to destroy the US System of Government .... and that would include obstruction to the US Supreme Court and appointment of Justices.

These are the choices ...... it's a time to choose. Total Hysterical Meltdown & Obstruction to everything
OR
Progress and continuing the Booming Economy and Job Growth, more Manufacturing
