The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a Friday 9:30 AM ET vote on Kavanaugh according to a notice sent out by the Panel Tuesday evening.
Note: This is only a vote in the Judiciary Committee–the vote must still advance to the Senate floor where Judge Kavanaugh must reach the magic number of 51-49 votes.
Senator Grassley then warned about Ms. Ramirez’s flimsy accusations against Kavanaugh as reported in the New Yorker, “As you know, false statements made to the press are not subject to criminal penalty, but false statements to Congress are.”
Here we go again...
Christine Ford is supposed to testify on Thursday about her decades-old, uncorroborated sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
Ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said on Tuesday afternoon that she has “no way of knowing” if Christine Ford will show up to Thursday’s hearing to testify against Kavanaugh.
Feinstein’s statement was in response to the Senate Republicans hiring a female prosecutor experienced in sex crimes to question Christine Ford.
Senate Republicans have signaled they may be working through the weekend to confirm Judge Kavanaugh as quickly as possible.
Blog Author's Comments: Christine Blasey Ford will not appear on Thursday and never intended to appear at any time. This is simply the Democrats using her to delay anything from happening with the Supreme Court nominee, until after the midterm elections. All of this has been a democrat ploy to delay the vote. But, they still have time in an attempt to try more tactics to stall the vote on Kavanaugh. This is all about attempting to destroy a good man and his family, while also stopping anything President Trump does that is good for the county. Democrats, elections do have consequences.
The Democrats will do anything they can to stop the Supreme Court from having a 5–4 conservative advantage. But, if and when the voting takes place, no one is certain if the Republicans have the votes to eventually place Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the high court. The four GOP senators that cannot be counted on and are still in question are, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn. and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.).
