Grassley panel scraps Kavanaugh hearing, warns committee will vote without deal
By Jordain Carney - 09/21/18 06:34 PM EDT

The Senate Judiciary Committee is postponing a high-stakes hearing set for early next week on the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The committee announced on Friday that the Monday hearing — where both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, had been invited to speak — was being called off.

Instead, Grassley said in a statement Friday that he is giving Ford’s lawyers until 10 p.m. on Friday to respond to the GOP request for her to testify on Wednesday. If they do not, or if Ford declines to testify, Grassley said the Judiciary Committee will vote Monday on Kavanaugh's nomination.

“I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay,” Grassley said in a statement.

The announcement comes after lawyers for Ford and Judiciary Committee staffers struggled to reach an agreement on holding a hearing.

Lawyers for Ford said Thursday that she would not testify during the public hearing that Senate Republicans had set for Monday.

Instead, the two sides have been locked in a 24-hour back-and-forth over the terms of a potential hearing.

No one can honestly say they aren't bending over backwards to accommodate this person.

Saw it on FNC, but the only story I see is the lawyers requested another day to decide.  It's after 10PM, so I don't know what's going on.  Grassley may tell them to pound sand. :shrug:

On a positive note, the POTUS held a rally (huge, boisterous) in Missouri tonight for Senate candidate Josh Hawley.

Hawley, during his time at the mike, was talking about how Trump is keeping his promises including the one to appoint constitutionalist judges ... and then he went *there* and said:  "Including Brett Kavanaugh!!".  The crowd erupted in wild and sustained applause, hooting and hollering.

I hope Grassley heard about this.  Folks have been paying attention and understand what's really going on here.
