So, no committee hearing Monday...maybe Wednesday...maybe Thursday...maybe never?

So let's call the whole thing off! Republicans, just do it!

My modest thinking on the Republican Cost benefit analysis going on....lose the House for sure as Millions of Angry Women give you the boot AND put the Senate in peril...for a tainted confirmation to SCOTUS? Which means, if the Senate and House are lost, impeachment of that confirmation?

Many more consequences from all that, none any good.

Not to mention Millions of Angery Women and their Angry Daughters are not likely to forget...for at least 32 years, like Citizen Ford did not forget.

Real head scratcher for Republicans...never had to face that formulary before.

Now they have to add in Shitler's' insane attack on all historical sexual assault victims, their friends and families, law enforcement and prosecutors, therapists and the criminal justice system as a whole.

How does that rejig the numbers, Republicans!

Let's not call the whole thing off is...no longer an option.

The nature of negotiations is there is negotiations.

I will wait for the next exchange of correspondence before speculating.

I think she will testify, they are trying to work out the details that will be agreeable to all.

the one that gives Trump / Pence (most likely Pence) a 4 year term

AND which gives the Republicans control of the House and Senate again...

They will have their 5-4 majority on the SCOTUS to rule that the THEFT (by vote machine hacking) never happened.

but your OP assumes that the committee is actually thinking about repercussions. Or actually thinking.

But that balloon went bust as soon as Shitler blew it up with jaw dropping, insane woman bashing twitter this morning.

What a fuckng mess those good old boys have on their hands due to their own rushed process.
