Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley gave Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, until 10AM ET to decide if she will testify on Monday. Ford's team handed out the terms for her testimony late Thursday night and I doubt it will sit well. First of all, she won't do it on Monday and she still wants an FBI probe. Now the Senate Republicans have given Ford a counteroffer with a hearing on Wednesday.

Humanity 101: Do not threaten people, including those who accuse someone of sexual assault or may not vote the way you want them to. The Hill published an article yesterday about how Sen. Susan Collins and her office have received threats over Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. "Conservative" blogger Jennifer Rubin and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) decided it's not a big deal and actually went on social media to MOCK Collins and her office.

It still looks like Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Blasey Ford will not show up for a hearing set for Monday, which has caused some mayhem at Capitol Hill. The decision to not show up has caused the teetering Republicans to push for a confirmation vote if nothing happens on Monday. To make matters worse, Feinstein won't give the Republicans the letter that contains the accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh. Does this mean that no one else has actually seen the letter? Just Feinstein? How does she expect Ford to get a proper hearing on Monday if everyone else lacks all the tools?

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her in high school, said she wanted to testify in front of the Senate. The Republicans immediately made it known they wanted to hear from her. After all, these are serious accusations and she, along with all victims, deserve to be heard. But Ford has not accepted the invite and now wants an FBI investigation before she testifies. Sen. Chuck Grassley said that if she doesn't show up on Monday, the Senate will move on and schedule a confirmation vote for Kavanaugh.

Hopefully today is a little calmer than yesterday when it comes to Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. We learned Monday evening that the Senate postponed his confirmation vote and scheduled a hearing on Monday with him and the woman who has accused him of sexual assault. Except she hasn't accepted the invitation yet. Once again, if you come across anything, please leave it in the comment section.

I told you Friday night that the attempt to derail Brett Kavanaugh's nomination with a post-hearing accusation was not over. I expected a cameo appearance by Gloria Allred at a press conference this week with the accuser, but it didn't take that long and it wasn't Allred.

Senate Democrats have redefined "absurdity" since the confirmation hearings for Judge Kavanaugh began ten days ago. With every single antic squashed and mocked, Sen. Feinstein released a super secret letter to the FBI, a letter alleging that 30 some odd years ago, Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman.
