Brett Kavanaugh: The vote is Set to Come Wednesday

September 19, 2018 By Richard C. Young

Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley asks U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Deputy Commissioner Ronald D. Vitiello questions during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration, during a hearing entitled “Building America’s Trust through Border Security: Progress on the Southern Border” in Washington, D.C., May 23, 2017.

Are Democrats more interested in justice, or delaying and preventing the confirmation of, by all accounts, a great conservative judge to the Supreme Court?

With the refusal of Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser to testify until an FBI investigation into her claims has been completed, it appears that her eleventh hour revelations are more of a delay tactic setup by the Democrats than an honest appeal to justice.

Democrats are no doubt still seething over Mitch McConnell’s refusal to hold hearings on Merrick Garland’s appointment to the Supreme Court by former president Barack Obama. The strategy seems to be to force Kavanaugh to withdraw, win the Senate in November, and then delay any attempt by the President and the lame-duck GOP Senate to confirm a new Justice before January. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is having none of it, and will proceed to a vote on Wednesday.

At Reuters, Lawrence Hurly and Eric Beech report (abridged):

A woman who has accused President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual assault decades ago wants her allegations to be investigated by the FBI before she appears at a U.S. Senate hearing, her lawyers said on Tuesday.

In a letter to the committee’s chairman, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, Ford’s attorneys said an FBI investigation needed to come first.

Grassley( Chuck) said there is no reason to delay Ford’s testimony.

An invitation for her to appear before the committee on Monday stands.

“Dr Ford’s testimony would reflect her personal knowledge and memory of events. Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay,” Grassley said in a statement.

Earlier on Tuesday, Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the committee’s Republicans, said the panel would vote on the nomination next week whether or not Ford testified. A vote in committee would be a precursor to action in the full Senate.

“If she does not want to come Monday, publicly or privately, we’re going to move on and vote Wednesday,” he told Fox News Channel.

Grassley said there is no reason to delay Ford’s testimony and an invitation for her to appear before the committee on Monday stands.

“Dr Ford’s testimony would reflect her personal knowledge and memory of events. Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay,” Grassley said in a statement.
