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.

Further evidence you are either demented or just a bullshitter.
You just don't get it Poindexter - one can be critical of Trump and not be a Democrat. I'm just not into the cult of personality like so many of you here seem to be. This "False left-right paradigm card" actually IS still in play; Just NOT by Trump. That is IF you've actually been playing attention. It's participants are establishment Republicans (Bushies) v. Dem-Left. MEMO: Donald Trump is NOT. ONE. OF. THEM. (and neither are the Republican Conservative Caucus.) Maybe you're just overwhelmed by the sheer insane volume of upheaval and chaos. This is thanks to the successful PTB tactics and execution of several Psy-Ops simultaneously, like: Cloward and Piven, Hegelian dialectic, and Alinsky etc. Again, all of which Donald Trump is NOT PART OF. (THIS is the problem. FOR the Left and Establishment PTB.) Here's an analogy and perspective that may be helpful in understanding and appreciating Trump: FLASHBACK: The effete US Brass during WW2 whined, b*tched, moaned and groaned about General Patton's style and stragegy, "disagreeing" with nearly everything HE did; Meanwhile he ignored THEIR backbiting and professional sabotage as he stayed aggressive and he led and held the US Army together long enough TO HELP WIN THE WAR. Sadly, you're overlooking an insight and foresight in understanding what's at stake in what has emerged into the turning point of the Left-Right paradigm of power. What's at stake is...the US Constitution, Rule of Law, Process of Justice -- our very Republic. I'm not saying there aren't issues of which to criticize Trump or ANY politician; What I'm saying is, your sense of propriety AND priority are myopic and your fighting spirit and energies wildly misplaced. A coup is still being waged against President Trump. That has NOT ended. Have you been following these events at all?? For instance: Are you aware that Swamp-Rats Brennan and Comey were both officially Communists? That Brennan and Democrats are encouraging further subordination at the Swamp-Central at FBI, routinely committing sedition? The SCOTUS process has been hijacked by the Left; its exposed and revealed the extent of their war against (especially) truth, against justice & fairness, against men, and against logic. A REAL live hot-war is being waged right before our very eyes -- and here you are kvetching over the equivalent of a "bad sprig of parsley" as you were served a gourmet meal at a 5-Star restaurant. Speaking of Hillary - when is Trump going to make good on his campaign promise and "LOCK HER UP"? But...Doesn't that require an actual Attorney General who's NOT "part of the Swamp"?? (or hadn't you noticed Sessions was indeed PART of it since Day-One of his bizarro-world "recusal" ?) How's that "swamp draining" thingie coming along? Brennan: GONE. Comey: GONE. McCabe: GONE. Others: GONE. Do you really expect five decades of the Globalist-Leftist Foggy Bottom hive to just surrender their power in a snap of Trump's finger? He's fended off every dirty trick they had. And still they are fighting Trump. But you don' see it STILL?? You can't be this naive or stupid. Then again...your priorities have been about the abuse of power at the BOTTOM of the authoritah food-chain. NOT the Top.
In your paranoid mind, maybe so. Did you say, "Paranoid"?? From the same guy who hides under his bed with and laptop scoping out the latest "COP SHOOTS DOG!" stories at "Reason" and "Thought-Project"?? AS the USA becomes a Banana Republic and an active ongoing coup by the Democrats, GOPe and Deep State are still in progress? If you Trump-ettes had your way, you would silence anyone who isn't totally on board the Trump Train...it's his genuflecting worshipers like you who are simply over the top with your idolizing the guy. Stop being a selfish contrarian crusader. It's beyond ridiculous. The PTB's abuse of institutional power and manipulating the rest of us won't and cannot stop until their entire machination is punctured. Without Trump to battle and expose them, your supposed "Crusade for Liberty" is political roadkill.
That's what watching too much CNN will do to you...
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
That is definitely bad for mental health.
This is true. Let's say that Kavanaugh did what was said: locked a girl in a room 30 years ago. Who cares? 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. It's long done. The statute of limitations has run. The whole thing is ridiculous. Not to be callous I have to agree. There was no police report, rape kit no evidence it is the classic "he said, she said" scenario from 35 years ago. The Democrats apparently believe in sinless perfection. Go figure.
Indeed.
Given the exclusive nature of the academy she went to, the '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. Man if they asked fellow students about drinking and partying, no one would get a security clearance.
That was hilarious no? LOL. I never had to turn in my Jesuit decoder ring.
Point, match you are correct.
Words don't help you understand. Crayons won't help. Maybe THIS simple photo and graphic will:
That's a different point. I'm simply exposing the bizarro-world over-reaching contentions of 36 year-old "indictments of character": TEENAGERS DRINK ALCOHOL! AND AT TIME GROPE EACH OTHER! But why would he lie about not being there? Too many witnesses. Again -- I'm NOT saying that he lied or would lie about this fake incident; Only that the so-called bogus "criminal-charge" is: FOR BEING MEN. FOR BEING WHITE. FOR BEING HETEROSEXUAL.
Maybe THIS simple photo and graphic will: You need to ask?
Regardless of any potential mid-term fallout, this appointment could determine the makeup of the court for the next 20 years of so. Gentlemen, I believe the American public is being bamboozled. Any "Fall-Out" is pure myth. Any negative "fall-out", controversy, and "contention" is based SOLELY on the MEDIA'S usual psyop character assassination of Republicans, Whitey, Men, Conservatives, Trump, etal "evil" fantasy portrayals of the Left's opponents. (What's they'll NEVER concede: Trump has succeeded in his own psyop: "FAKE NEWS".) Q: HAS THE MEDIA NOW "OUT-KICKED ITS COVERAGE" and OVERESTIMATED THEIR ACTUAL INFLUENCE? Q2: IF REPUBLICANS REALIZE THIS IS THE CASE AND STOP FEARING MEDIA RETRIBUTION, AREN'T THE DEMOCRAT-TERRORISTS FINISHED?
Lotta assumptive worst-case scenarios there. If that flimsy allegation is sufficient to prevent the nomination of Kavanaugh, Due Process is dead. And so is the USCON. With respect to Ford's Blatant Lie and Smear and "justice", let's remember Hitlery,0bama, etal should also be in jail serving a 500 year term. BUT SHE AND THEY AREN'T.
"Kavanaugh's" report, in October 1997, concluded that the death of Foster resulted from suicide. The investigation was led by Ken Starr and it is the Starr Report. Thank you for clarification. And the truth of the matter. I'm not a big fan of subverted "truth" and disinfo campaigns.
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.

If the allegation is sufficient to disqualify Kavanaugh from SCOTUS, it is sufficient to impeach and remove him from the Circuit Court. Blasey Ford would still be in the middle of a shit storm.
