It looks like Chuck Grassley is done screwing around and is setting a deadline for the Kavanaugh accuser for respond about whether to testify in front of Congress or not.
And it’s for tonight:
Grassley on Ford testifying & Judiciary Cmte vote on Kavanaugh:"I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening. I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify." pic.twitter.com/rPvDuTvZ2J

Here’s what it says:
Grassley on Ford testifying & Judiciary Cmte vote on Kavanaugh:”I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening. I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify.”
And…
“In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay.”-Senate Judiciary Chair @ChuckGrassley
Look at this idiot’s response:
Chairman Grassley is now threatening to hold a vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination on Monday unless Dr. Blasey Ford gives in to his demands. The 11 Republican men on the committee are treating this like a hostage situation. They just don’t get it.

It’s obvious they just want to stall stall stall. I’m glad the Republicans aren’t falling for it. Testify and provide proof or get out of the way of the confirmation.Set your clocks, they got three hours….
