Grassley within minutes puts out a message that if the Senators are not ready to vote then they won't hold the vote on Friday.
I would wager that almost immediately he got a bunch of phone calls from a couple of republican Senators who said "Um, no."

They are not taking this seriously, that is what's bothering me. They have no respect for women. And like what Lawrence O'Donnell said last night, Kavanaugh is no champion of women.

(11,297 posts)Rosenstein's problems and the potential for these Republicans to take over the government with no penalty it's really sickening.
The horse is just about out the barn door, how about slamming it shut Mr. Mueller before it's too late.

(10,835 posts)Republicans think they are so clever. But we've seen this play, over and over. If McConnell had the vote, he'd be biting at the bit. Grassley simply embarrassed himself with the eager-beaver act.
These men are vile!

(13,571 posts)That was the concensus of many on cable news today.
They think if Kav is confirmed, they will be able to hold the base til 2020 even if they lost the midterms.
The base has threatened them in the last day: No Kavanaugh confirmation, no base in November.

Keep them scared as hell, then vote them the hell out of office.
Don't ever let them back in.
