and if it is true why not accommodate the extra day?

If she were to take the train, she would have leave tomorrow morning to make it in time for a Wednesday hearing.. She'd arrive Tuesday afternoon and that wouldn't leave much time to prep with her lawyers, etc.
-
I’m impressed with your knowledge of national train schedules.

I was curious so I looked it up because her unwillingness to fly seems like a reasonable concern, particularly since I'm not sure what difference a day or two makes. Took hardly more time than typing this tweet.
-
It would obv. be reasonable if the hearing had any possibility of mattering. I can't contemplate anything that could come out in testimony that would change a single person's views on anything. That makes it more plausible that the Democrats are cynically using Ford to delay.
-
I doubt whether the hearing will influence more than a handful of votes, but I don't think that should be the only, or even the primary, consideration. I like to think there's still a right way to do things.
-
That’s certainly reasonable. But it seems to me that part of the peril of the political moment is both sides’ willingness to use the ‘right way to do things' social norms for illegitimate purposes. That makes the Dems’ real motives in calling for a hearing *now* an issue.
-
I think it's fair to question SJC Dems' motives; I've done so. I also think we should aspire to handle this situation in the proper way, and that requires thinking about something more than "how do we win" or "whatabout what they did."
-
I think it is fair to say both sides are acting quite badly.

To leave time to call additional witnesses if useful, without extending it over the weekend?
