Note: In addition to Graham, we also have a second Republican on the committee calling for more information (and, by my read, likely for more than what Grassley seems to be proposing).https://twitter.com/waposean/status/1041449153841254401?s=21 …

Meanwhile, not on the committee, but a key vote: Collins.https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1041454941666271232 …

Note that in the CNN video with Collins she specifically says that she had read the letter before her call with him — in which he denied the allegations to her.

History Note: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (and Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun) joined the Senate Judiciary Committee in the wake of no women having been serving on the committee during the Clarence Thomas nomination.

In addition to Feinstein, only three other senators remain on the committee now who were there with her in '93: Sen. Grassley, Hatch, and Leahy. All three men have been chair of the committee at points in that time since.

All this "ahead of Thursday's scheduled vote" stuff really bugs me. It's been in both Grassley & Graham stmnts. They seem to be implying that meeting this Thursday timeline is more impt. than getting to the truth.

Calls? A hearing provides more robust information to assess the allegations.

In other words
@ChuckGrassley is actively working to find out how he can smear and try to discredit her. He isn't interested in the truth, only getting this nominee through despite the fact that he has already perjured himself.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Something is wrong with America. What are we teach young men, that they can assault a woman and can sit on the highest court? This is just wrong Christians and Republicans.
