Bluff Called: Grassley Gives Debra Katz & Co. One More Day

Townhall
Timothy Meads
Sept. 22, 2018

Yesterday evening, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) gave attorney Debra S. Katz an ultimatum - agree to reasonable testimonial terms for her client and alleged sexual assault survivor Professor Christine Blasey Ford by 10:00 PM Friday or the Senate would go ahead and vote on Monday to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In return, Katz accused the senator of establishing an "arbitrary" deadline and flatly declined to comply with his request and instead asked for one more day. Shortly after midnight, Sen. Grassley agreed to give Katz and her client one more day.

The deadline for scheduling testimony by Blasey Ford was extended but the Monday committee vote stays the same. It seems.

Im told that Jeff Flake is the only Republican causing problems for Kavanaugh. He's gone from conservative champion to roadblock.

What could be Flake's excuse for this?

If it was good enough for McCain it's good enough for Flake. McConnell should replace Flake on the JC, lol, watch the rat heads explode.

Somebody (I think it was @Fishrrman) posted a link to the Committee official page, showing Monday's vote is postponed.

I will NOT comply.

Flake was never a "conservative champion."  He stuck a knife in AZ's back before the Bible was cool after his swearing in by joining Rubio and McCain's "Gang O' Eight" to push for Shamnesty.

He was, however, pretty good in the House, even though he broke his term limit pledge three times.

That would be amusing.

If McFlake thought Trump was hard on him before, just wait till he becomes a roadblock.

This entire episode is utterly absurd.  The US Senate and the country is caught up in what happened between two drunk teenagers at a party 35 years ago.  Why?  Because liberal women have gone insane.
 Everyone involved in this madness ought to be ashamed.
