The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday formally postponed a vote on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, canceling a meeting set for later this week where a vote was initially expected to happen
Staffers for Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent out a notice that the Thursday business meeting had been canceled. The Senate is expected to leave town for the week on Tuesday.
The delay for a vote to advance Kavanaugh's nomination was widely expected following allegations from Christine Blasey Ford, a professor who alleges that Kavanaugh held her down and tried to remove her clothes at a party in the early 1980s when both were in high school.
Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
Grassley announced this week that Kavanaugh would testify before the Judiciary Committee for a second time next Monday, days after the initial committee vote was scheduled
Grassley has yet to say when the Senate panel will now vote on Kavanaugh's nomination
The chairman declined to comment when leaving a closed-door meeting of Judiciary Committee Republicans on Monday night. Grassley also dodged questions about it on Tuesday morning during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt
Kavanaugh's nomination first appeared on the Judiciary Committee's agenda roughly a week after the initial round of hearings took place.
President Trump on Tuesday ramped up his defense of Kavanaugh amid the allegations, saying he "is not a man who deserves this." Kavanaugh confirmation before midterms will result in GOP loss of the HOR, he's that bad.
The GOP wing of the party will totally lose the HOR if they confirm *JJ Swamp before the midterm elections.
*Jesuit Judge Swamp
Now Kavi can go back to picking up Hillary's spent shell casings, and other cover up ops to protect her.

Can't he be both?
That's what watching too much CNN will do to you... THAT. And hanging way too much over at Reason, Thought Project, and other fake "libertarian" propaganda sites.
This is true. Disagree. This is absolutely predictable. (You guys see who the (R)s on the Judiciary committee are?? Flake. Corker. Collins. BY DESIGN they "Designated Wild-Cards", aka RINOs/GOPe.) The man probably had such a squeeky clean record in College they had to go back to High School to find something. Ok, Don't know about you Vic but there are many things I did in High School I am not proud of. Yup. That's exactly the case. They had to go 36 years back into HS Daze. And even at that, this is still a trumped up, bogus allegation. (Imagine the chaos created were the Dem-Terrorists to "find" multiple (lying) witnesses?? On your last note Red, for sure -- ALL of us are guilty of doing stupid things -- not only in our teens, but into our early 20s (and beyond.) But is THAT what this insane War-on-Men has come to?? THAT is exactly what this bogus charge is about; That and...oh, and "The War on Whitey".
Absolutely the case. The problem as you well know at this point is: "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY".
Man if they asked fellow students about drinking and partying, no one would get a security clearance. Yep... But even BEYOND that; The Dem-Left-Terrorists seem to be creating a whole new precedence and criteria for political appointments and security clearance based on lies, rumor, innuendo, and POLITICAL AFFILIATION and MOB RULE. (this trend can't turn out well if it gains even an inch of traction)
Rejecting Ford out of hand would have been bad politically. She can have an opportunity to be heard, but she cannot further delay and dictate terms. If the GOP wants to see real fallout, they can just fail to grow a pair and bring the nomination to a vote.
Listening in to Mark Stein in for Rush today. He quoted from Acts 23 where under Roman law an accused must first hear the accuser before delivering a defense. Did you see how Ford and the Demoncrats want her to go after the accused? 2000 years of legal precedence where an accused hears the charges before defending themselves is being thrown out the window. This on a Judiciary committee which should know better.
I can't disagree with that; Those optics would have been bad. But they have already been patient with this stunt. She can have an opportunity to be heard, but she cannot further delay and dictate terms. THIS is where the entire stunt jumps the shark. (And when the GOP should have blown their fuse at the the Dem-Terrorists AND Ford. Again, the usual GOP problem: FEAR OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPRISAL) If the GOP wants to see real fallout, they can just fail to grow a pair and bring the nomination to a vote. As much as I'd like to believe that's the case, it's....not. Again, just look at who was chosen for that Judiciary Committee: Flake?? (PULEESE) Corker?? (Publicly HATES Trump) Collins?? (A Dem). And wasn't McStain on it as well? These are "Republicans In Name Only". The GOPe has consistent given the Finger to (R) voters. Fearlessly.
Nice. The mention of Acts 23 (even under Roman Law!) reinforces our own constitution-based criteria for "justice" and due process. As well as GOD'S justice. THIS was sickeningly lacking in this case. That any of our "Due Process" is being reduced and/or eliminated means the End of Justice, End of Law, and...ANARCHY. WARNING: TANGENT... This whole War on Cops, War on ICE, War on Whitey and Men, and push to de-criminalize CRIMINALS is by design. (IMO by the Shadow Government and its LE Gestapo: "The Deep State". All in the name of the Globalist-Elites, aka The NWO.) Anarchy ----> Chaos ----> Martial Law ----> "RE-ORDER"/FASCIST CONTROL
I will freely and candidly admit every immoral thing I ever did. The reason I keep my mouth shut about all of it is not to protect me. It is to protect the other half of the relationships. They have families and children and reputations too. Mine will shrug their shoulders - I never claimed to be a saint. People hide things for a reason. It is not my place to go exposing them.
Yes. Via Kangaroo Court and False Witness. This not only cannot be allowed to stand but heads should roll. 2000 years of legal precedence where an accused hears the charges before defending themselves is being thrown out the window. This on a Judiciary committee which should know better. Yup. There quite a bit of that "thousands-of-years-of-precedence" getting tossed out the window (as in "Marriage" and the natural roles/inclinations of Males and Females.) This Judiciary Committee DOES "know better"; However as you know, the Dems are possessed, and the Pubbies are either cowards OR owned. We are witnessing the further crumbling of a political infrastructure and will to stand on righteousness.
Sound judgement and sense.
I agree. They gave her Monday. She can't do it? Tough.
PJ Media did a nice little satire piece:
Thanks. That was excellent! (and basically the way it actually is in this New Mad Magazine World.)
Much of the GOP base vote was concerned with Supreme Court nomnations. Give them the finger, don't even bring the nomination to a vote, and see how many 2016 voters stay home in November.
The Interrogation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh That was good. You may enjoy a new HuffPo poll. https://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files/2018/09/19/5ba234fde4b046313fc11590.pdf Huffington Post has a YouGov poll with Question #9 regarding Christine Blasey Ford — "9. Credible accusation Do you think that the allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh generally is or is not credible?" The results show that the following percentages found her allegation credible: 26% — total 26% — total All that huffing and puffing and still no sale. A HuffPo poll. That had to sting.
53% Dem. I think they read the questions as, "Do you want to believe that the allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh is credible?"
Here is the latest delaying tactic from Dr. Ford. From Burgess Everett, Politico political reporter https://twitter.com/burgessev/status/1043204451253727233 Dr. Ford has indicated to Republicans she doesn't want to fly, in part revealing why she doesn't want the hearing to be on Monday She probably just rediscovered a long repressed memory that she does not fly.
Dr. John Madden Ford? I hate flying too. Its the prices and pat downs that irk me.
Walking or driving 4,000 miles pisses me off way more that your pat-down irritation. Don’t be a cheap fuck at your age. You can’t take it with you, grandpa.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
That’s right. Republicans have to fight to the death on this one.
You know just as well as I do that they don't give one damn about that poll no matter how stupid it makes them look. It's all about the end game which is make sure Kavanaugh is not confirmed.
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Is that Gatlin??

No, there are still way too many stupid/naïve people out there in the world.

I'll bet we can find dozens of times in the past where she did fly, and for lesser reasons. I hope someone on the committee finds out then confronts her with it to illustrate her lack of candor.
That's what happens when you putt with a driver.
So she could be groped by TSA?
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
You misspelled putz.
Your post is full of BS as is usual.
She completed her Ph.d. with an internship in Hawaii. I read she was in D.C. twice last year for seperate events.
Nah. That's spelled h-o-n-d-o-6-8.
And this includes WV senator Manchin (D). He's toast if he does not vote to confirm. Trump will see to that with just one rally in his home state.
You see this one yet? Montgomery County police: No word from Christine Blasey Ford about Kavanaugh investigation The helmet BDE is on the move there.
Yea, verily. People counting only Republicans are probably miscounting. There are two or three Dems who will be deeeply engangered by a "nay" vote. Just imagine if one of the Pubbies votes "Nay" followed by a Dem "Yea." That Pubbie would face a tough time for reelection.
I'm calling it now. Kavanaugh will be confirmed. All 51 Republicans will vote for him. The GOP will hold both houses of Congress. Rosenstein will deliver a nice October Surprise in Trump's favor. Bookmark it and ball up your fists to laugh at me when it turns out otherwise. But have a frozen crow ready in the fridge for when I turn out right.
Murkowski is waffling from recent reports. But Manchin is not speaking with reporters. Might be 50 votes with Pence deciding.
Is McCain's replacement seated?
Jon Kyl was appointed but won’t start serving until after the new year.
Well, that’s stupid timing re: Kyl. So it’s a 50-49 body now. Any single Republican can blow it up, which means that a few of them will need to be bought off with pork. And there’s the guy who’s leaving office - Flake - he has no future election to protect and can vote his conscience, which could make it 49-49, Pence breaks the tie. Collins, Murkowski, Snowe - Alaska and Maine are going to be getting some serious pork. Just sayin’. Definitely worth it. If the Republicans fail on Kavanaugh, they will lose both houses, and the Trump presidency will devolve into what the Clinton presidency did after the Republicans took over Congress.
Montgomery County police: No word from Christine Blasey Ford about Kavanaugh investigation The helmet BDE is on the move there. Yea I responded to it bta you probably already know that by now :)...

Had to believe that the Republicans let this happen. They have the power, and could simply ignore the nonsense and plow ahead.

'Others' are probably in the Senate or House and have a (D) next to their name and know the truth.

Even when I was going for my military security clearance as a college student, the background investigators only asked for job history going back to High school.

No. What she wants is to drag this out for another 2-3 months then refuse to testify under oath. She's using the #metoo movement to bully the Republicans.
