ChuckGrassley realDonaldTrump HouseGOP SenateGOP If Kavanaughs background is unblemished, you & he should welcome an investigation to put these accusations to rest. Why won’t his friend Judge testify to their innocence? Because they’re not?Investigate or withdraw Kavanaugh!!

If we say you're guilty, then you're guilty. Don't need no stinking Constitution, or scales of justice. The accusation itself suffices to ensure guilt. LeftistStarChamberJustice

Amen

Good.

Feinstein waited for months to raise a 35 year old allegation. Nothing is being rushed. And Ford has a standing invitation to appear - which she apparently turned down.

WOMEN joined together...will vote these asses out.

Do it GOP and reap the whirlwind of women who will remember you in Nov.

POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse Putting party before country once again. You'd rather win and put a sex offender on the bench than admit a mistake. You are not Patriots.

" THE FEAR FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE BACK LASHES OF LACK OF LEADERSHIP FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP REGARDING RACISM , BIGOTRY & COMPLETE SELF INTEREST OF HIMSELF AS OPPOSED TO PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES . AS A RESULT , REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ARE NOT GOING TO BE REELECTED "

Step up or shut up - this is a crock of crap & just an last gasp attempt to delay this confirmation vote to after the elections!

Bought damned time put up or shut up!!!

Does this surprise ANYONE?

What a jerk ChuckGrassley is! She just came forward and is not even in her own home! I call bs and there is no rush!!!!

Remember he’s not JUST someone who sexually assaulted a woman and lied about it, the reason the gop wants this man on the SCOTUS is because he doesn’t believe a sitting president is immune from criminal charges. Well, a gop president anyway.

Awesome! The Dems are all BS...

About time VOTE! Ford should have stepped forward years ago-PERIOD This last minute crap is just stalling tactics.

Great!

Quite a rush, for an 85 year old.

Can you confirm there are six witnesses from the US court system who have evidence that Kavanaugh knew of Judge Richard Roberts' sexual misconduct? Letters were sent to both parties.

For the GOP to not investigate these claims show their complete disregard for women and lack of understanding. This is inappropriate and wrong. VoteBlue WednesdayWisdom MeToo Kavanaugh

ChuckGrassley and POTUS are wasting political capital trying to confirm an unstable and troubled candidate. So far despite GOP coverup we have heard about 6-figure gambling debts, problem drinking, “misstatements” in order to get on Appeals Court... now assaulting women? No.

I mean really this is not how our democracy works and these gop republicans should be sued for not following the rules of our Constitution

If all this comes to nothing, it is going to be sweet double victory for Trump and reps.

Outstanding.

- Steve B.

Translation: Need to rush this before something else bad comes out about our nomination.

ChuckGrassley rush is full confession he is rushing the nomination and abusing Dr. Ford and her legal team. The FBI may have to turn its attention to ChuckGrassley and senjudiciary Replublicans for collusion with Executive branch in violation of Senate oath and responsibility

Prepared remarks? Why does the GOP make the wrong call every FUCKING time? IllegitimatePresident IllegitimateSCOTUS

ChuckGrassley turned 85 yesterday. Apparently he wants to go out on a low note AND ruin his grandson's chance of taking his place.

The Republican Party is comfortable with sexual predators in high office

Because he's so compassionate?

Love too impose an arbitrary deadline on a sexual assault victim facing death threats who is being smeared by my colleagues

Hard to investigate without a date or location of the alleged attack..

Good. Not one Democrat will vote for him anyway. Media coverage of this is like a tawdry soap opera, where all the American people are the audience. Would be refreshing as heck if the Repubs just stood together, voted the judge onto the court, and put us out of our misery. Enough

That’s a lie! Chuck Grassley said today that they would even come out to California to interview her, if that would make her more comfortable!

An investigation would be a waste of time and money. Time to move on.

they’re just trying to drag it out through the elections - clear as the nose on your face - they need to call her to testify & if she doesn’t put her in contempt!

FBI already said repeatedly they won't investigate,but nice try to make GOP look like they don't want transparency(eventhough GOP has requested that both Kavanaugh and she testify-which she refuses to do).FYI-when you slant article in such an obvious way, you earn title fake news

Great ! Good for them.

Stop this kabuki theatre and bring the nomination to a vote!!

First she wanted a chance to testify, she's been given that chance and that has been made as comfortable as it can get for testifying, now she wants the testifying postponed The Republicans should continue with the vote

Women need to revolt— take to the streets and senate offices. Our message for men abusing women-sexually-mentally-battery-on & on still hasn’t been heard—and we can’t take it lightly.

Why? What’s the rush?

So much wrong with the political process today. Unsubstantiated, unproven, allegations from 35 years ago about three drunk high school kids at a party has now become defined by what T-shirt you wear, as attempted rape, assault, attempted abduction, and there are no witnesses.

There are no witnesses, there is no evidence, there’s not even an alleged date and location of the alleged crime. What do they think investigators are going to do?

I doubt it! Where did you get this information and did you verify with ChuckGrassley

I don't remember all the details but

Crypto is a funny place, so many project but how do you pick the one to invest? Do your homework I pick DeepOnionx it has great user case $ONION deeponion

Mark Judge said he was with Kavanaugh and he didn’t rape anyone. Next, Kavanaugh said he wasn’t at the party. Then MJ said he doesn’t remember being at the party and won’t discuss under oath. Then Kavanaugh said he doesn’t remember being at the party.

. . . "Allegations?" 1) Don't know when. 2) Where. 3) Don't know anyone, but 2 teens at the party, 1 who says it did not happen. 4) 1982 (appx) 'attempted rape' charges never reported or even mentioned until 30 years later. 5) Erases all social media. 6) Diploma mill Ph.D...

Rightly so, will the FBI investigate all 30yrs+ muddled discombobulated can't remember any specifics allegations or just the ones Dems cry about is FBI investigating DNCs Keith Ellison ? The Dems r lambasting his victim, a victim that has actual recollection and police reports

Geez, I can understand why so many men are calling Dr. Ford a liar—consciousnesses of guilt. But what the fuck is up with all these women tearing her down? 😳

JSmithpolitics1 good

Press ahead GOP...nobody should dictate to the committee what timetable the committee should follow. Accuser has been given an opportunity to tell her story but has refused. Why? because there is no story!!! Wait up people!!!

Vote on him Monday!

Wonder what the Liberals will come up with on the next SCOTUS nominee?

Good. It was a scam by demo rats to stop his nomination

The Dr. Ford and her attorney should a have a live TV press conference where respected journalists play the role that Senators should play--asking intelligent and respectful questions. It will inform America -- and shame the GOP Senators, who deseve it.

Good job...no calls...no deals...no nothing...complete innocence...take a hike.

Supports why people voted Trump - preserve the US Constitution! Dem leaders involved in these shenanigans need to be bipartisanly reprimanded by their peers

The FBI already refused. It's a 30 year old allegation and the accuser won't testify. If there is literally no testimony, no location, no witness, how can you investigate let alone have a case. This is a shameful stall tactic.

Yes proceed w confirmation b/c all this is nothing more than liberal/democrat bs. Let’s get him confirmed!

If she’s unwilling to testify under oath, she’s full of crap. Plain and simple.

That's NOT surprising BUT that's NOT America Justice NOR America Democracy congressdotgov SenateDems SenateGOP HouseDemocrats TheJusticeDept USSupremeCourt CNN washingtonpost USATODAY

Because women don’t matter until they matter

they are suicidal

As Cenk from TheYoungTurks would say, “OF COURSE!”

Good. Enough with the Dems stall tactics.
