4:00 am:
Looks like a "tentative" agreement for her to testify on Thursday. Maybe by phone? She is supposedly afraid to travel. It may be another stalling tactic. Anyway, there are probably two Senators that Grassley may want to keep on board. Maybe all this drama is for them and their
constituents. Supposedly.
Speculation:
Murkowski of Alaska was primaried out of her nomination, and ran as an independent. This was several years ago. Maybe she can be swayed out of her vote for Kavanaugh. Collins of Maine is in the liberal northeast. Those two female Senators are probably holding out for the testimony.
Otherwise, why bother?
7:42 pm:
Been off the web for most of the day. It's a data issue again. I want to stay on track for 10 gig this month, and I used it up really quick this morning. Anyway, I am somewhat in the dark on the news regarding this.
It appears to me, after reading through a few headlines on Free Republic, that this may get extended into next week. As of now, I am not sure when the "deadline" is.
I have a hunch that the "three amigos" may be holding up the show. If the GOP doesn't have them, they can't guarantee a confirmation. Grassley may be accommodating these three.
But, to keep it in perspective, there's a lot of red state Dems up for reelection. It may be possible to lose all three and still confirm.
But at any rate, they cannot allow themselves to be played like this. Vote him up or down, but get it over with.
9:30 am:
I have been saying all along that this is failure theater. They want to keep caving in to the Dems in order to throw the election to them.
Nobody is going to want to vote for these doormats, but that is the only option. At least for the time being.
I have also said for the longest time that we need a new party. This kind of thing has to stop.
