Nearly two hours after a deadline set by Chairman Chuck Grassley expired Friday night, the Iowa Republican tweeted that he’d “just granted another extension” for Christine Blasey Ford to agree to terms for telling his panel and a captivated nation about her allegation.

He provided no details of the extension, and participants from both sides didn’t immediately return messages requesting clarification. “She shld decide so we can move on I want to hear her. I hope u understand,” he wrote just before midnight in a comment directed at Kavanaugh.


Other thread titles were confusing.

Not to testify, just to respond to his counter offer and either accept or decline and present a counter-counter offer.

The extension is until 2:30pm today, just so everyone has all the facts. I think they still plan on holding the vote Monday if the deadline is not met and he doesn’t extend it AGAIN.

The second Revolution is coming folks. Whether we want it or not it's coming. The divisions the left has sowed in our beloved nation will not end peacefully.

They won't vote Monday. They won't vote next week or the following week.

Hard to figure out exactly what is happening with this.

Rarely do politicians NOT word things in a specific way. At the same time Grassley knows what is trying to be accomplished.

I would like to think that is is allowing this to get strung along....and at some point setting an actual deadline. Not looking for a counter offer, I mean an actual deadline.

There is simply no trust in politicians.

They have to be giving political cover to somebody like Susan Collins or another.

If Grassley somehow summons the requisite intestinal fortitude, I will love hearing from you here.

Everytime Grassley extends the deadline it makes him look accommodating and Ford unreasonable.

Grassely's deadline is starting to look like Obama's redline.

No, not to the Dems. Who cares about them? To the non-activists and "moderates." Currently, even on Yahoo's homepage there is a headline "Kavanaugh accuser granted an extension." Even to the uninformed blockhead this will start to look like she's unreasonable, if not untrustworthy.

This is why this country is doomed and conservatives and freedom loving Americans are doomed. They allow the liberals to jizz on their face and do nothing about it. Not a single one of them have a set of balls and will hold the other party to the law and standards. I am close to just joining the other side, holding my nose while I suck up every damn benefit and cheat to the system that I can get away with. Until the entire country crashes and burns economically. If republicans are not going to fight for the right things and hold the other party accountable what is the point? Might as well become a socialist and steal everything we can until it all crashes.

Of course it does but it doesn't accomplish anything except empower the lunatic left.
