Yes, it's called sitting on the SCOTUS bench for the next three decades.

Funny thing is, I think the whole "I can't fly" resonates as "this bitch is CRAZY" with A LOT of people.

I don't think she has any intention of testifying. I think she is lying and she won't risk getting caught under oath. All of this shit now is just a tactic to blame the republicans for the reason she doesn't testify. Delay, blame, delay, blame. Nothing more.

Has DiFi even given the unredacted letter to the republican senators yet?

When is she up for reelection? I may contribute to her opponent. Seeing her unseated and lose all her power will be more satisfying than watching her dangle from a rope.

The dems need to face facts. Old white people, male or female, are no longer the face of the democratic party. They spent years cultivating this and now it is going to consume them all. Kind of like socialism. Your usefulness to the collective has ended. You are no longer needed. Bye.

DiFi is up this year and wasn't going well so she pulled this......

Negative.

more from Grassley's ltr

“The Chairman has offered the ability for Dr. Ford to testify in an open session, a closed session, a public staff interview, and a private staff interview,” the offer letter explains. “The Chairman is even willing to fly female staff investigators to meet Dr. Ford and you in California, or anywhere else, to obtain Dr. Ford’s testimony.”


Some of your other demands, however, are unreasonable and we are unable to accommodate them. You demanded that Judge Kavanaugh be the first person to testify. Accommodating this demand would be an affront to fundamental notions of due process.

You also demanded that only senators be permitted to ask questions of the witnesses. We are also unable to accommodate this demand. There is no rule of the Senate or the Committee that precludes staff attorneys from asking witnesses questions. We reserve the option to have female staff attorneys, who are sensitive to the particulars of Dr. Ford’s allegations and are experienced investigators, question both witnesses

You demanded that the Committee issue subpoenas for the testimony of Mark Judge and other unidentified witnesses. The Committee is unable to accommodate this demand. The Committee does not take subpoena requests from witnesses as a condition of their testimony.

You demanded that the Committee call additional witnesses that Dr. Ford requests. We are unable to accommodate this demand. The Committee does not take witness requests from other witnesses.

Yes, the light at the end of the sleazy tunnel.

Are you flippin' kidding me??? They had the gall to ask this? Screw the 2200 deadline. Screw Monday. Vote now.

This trollop has no intention of testifying. She knows she can't lie under oath.

Cokie Roberts: Ford's Tactics, Democrats' Politics Aren't Working

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...eds-to-talk-n2521205

NPR reporter Cokie Roberts says Christine Blasey Ford needs to tell her story. No more delays.

"Christine Blasey Ford has either developed a case of cold feet or she’s playing footsie with the Democrats. Neither one of those options is useful if she wants to stop Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court," Roberts writes in her new op-ed for ABC News.

Ford has not accepted the Senate Judiciary Committee's invitation to testify about how she was allegedly assaulted by Kavanaugh in high school. Her lawyers cited her list of demands before she even considers opening her mouth. For instance, they want Kavanaugh to testify first, and they don't want him in the room when she testifies.

As Brit Hume notes, Roberts is coming at this with no partisan agenda.

Roberts had criticism for Democrats too, noting they are fooling no one with their histrionics.

The Democrats’ insistence that the Kavanaugh nomination is being railroaded sounds like politics as usual, rather than concern for a wronged woman. Perhaps they hope that the longer they string this out, the more unlikely it will be for the president to restrain his Twitter finger and that he will say something to outrage women voters.

Roberts did criticize Republican lawmakers too for suggesting Ford has her facts "mixed up." But, she said overall the White House has "played it smart," targeting Democrats instead of the accuser herself. Moreover, Trump, his advisors, and Republican lawmakers are of the opinion that Ford deserves to be heard. The Senate Judiciary Committee even offered to talk to her in her home state of California. On Friday, they gave her a counteroffer for a Wednesday hearing.

But, her lawyers indicate that they want an FBI investigation into the incident she has described before she agrees to speak. On Twitter Friday, Trump wondered why Ford didn't call the FBI after the alleged incident occurred, instead of 36 years later.

If Ford doesn't show up to testify, Roberts said we should practice saying "Justice Kavanaugh.”

I would like to ask her how it feels to be used.

smoking gun ?

Christine Blasey Ford hired strategist Ricki Seidman, who has Democratic ties and readied Anita Hill to testify in 1991.

Audio of Ricki Seidman from 10 July 2018

“ I do think that over the coming days and weeks there will be a strategy that will emerge, and I think it’s possible that that strategy might ultimately defeat the nominee ,” Seidman said. “And whether or not it ultimately defeats the nominee it will, I think, help people understand why it’s so important that they vote.”

above audio starts at 3:15

from:

https://dailycaller.com/2018/0...gy-defeat-kavanaugh/

Seidman has a long history of working for Democrats, including serving in Bill Clinton’s campaign’s “war room” and serving as the deputy communications director in the Clinton administration

[Seidman] cut her teeth running attack ads against Robert Bork, a nomination that was eventually derailed. She then moved to Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy’s office, where she was instrumental in convincing Anita Hill to go public with her claim that Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her.”

If you're a leftist and Cokie Roberts is criticizing you, that's a sure sign you've jumped the leftist shark.

Judicial Watch needs to FOIA request all of Feinstein's government emails and phone records for the past six months.

This is a buisnesswoman who knows how to boost her buisness. The potential upsides she's selling almost certainly mirror what the Dems as clients would've asked for, and she can promise nothing in the vaguest of terms with magnificent confidence and determination.

Now let's see what she can actually deliver with this witness between right now and either Monday or Wednsday by end of buisness.

“Show some heart,” Feinstein said. “Wait until Dr. Ford feels that she can come before the committee.”

In what other pseudo court in the country do the defendant and plaintiff get to dictate when and where testimony occurs? This is absurd. The approach should be, Monday's the day. Either put up or shut up.

^^^This. Just one more cog in the Dem's mid-term campaign strategy (since they have absolutely nothing else to run on). Grassley needs to stick to his guns and hold the vote on Monday.
