Hearing On! [Maybe]


For John, BLUFNo 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.




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.
