Following an intense week of salacious claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has scheduled the confirmation vote for Friday morning at 9:30 a.m., following Thursday’s planned testimony by both Kavanaugh and accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

Grassley wrote to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) earlier Tuesday to “respectfully decline” her request to postpone Thursday’s hearing, after assuring to provide Ford with a “safe, comfortable, and dignified opportunity to testify.”
“Besides being unfair to Dr. Ford, whose attorneys asked for a public hearing one week ago, delaying the hearing further would be unfair to Judge Kavanaugh and his family. He has asked the Committee repeatedly for the chance to testify as soon as possible. He has categorically denied the allegations that have been made public. He did this in a transcribed interview with several Senate investigators.”
