The GOP have basically lost control over this confirmation process. Really, they lost control over it days ago, but yesterday just made it clear that they’re flailing now to find a way to back out of this hearing without looking like total douches. They bet the farm on Prof. Ford choosing not to testify, overextending themselves by saying they badly wanted to hear from her and would do what they could to make her “comfortable.” She called their bluff and now they’re locked into having a hearing, the only questions being when and under what terms.
