Hearing On! [Maybe]

For John, BLUF:  No matter how this goes, if the Democrats take control of the House in January, there will be calls for impeachment.  I hope Judge Kavanaugh is impeached, because the trial will be interesting.  It will settle nothing, but it will be interesting.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Kavanaugh accuser will testify before Senate panel

From The Boston Globe, by NYT Reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg, 22 September 2018.

Here is the lede plus three from my EMail Notice of this story:

Lawyers for the woman who’s accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a sexual assault decades ago when they were teenagers say they've accepted the Senate Judiciary Committee’s request for her to tell her story.

But attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford say in a letter to the committee’s Republican majority that they want to set up a time later Saturday to keep discussing terms of Ford’s appearance.

The letter says Ford ‘‘accepts’’ the committee’s request that in the coming week she would ‘‘provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct.’’

The lawyers say they are ‘‘hopeful that we can reach agreement on details’’ of Ford’s appearance.

I am glad Senator Grassley granted the extra day.

I hope the Senate does not just summarily throw out the time honored tradition of innocent until proven guilty.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
