The putz has chutzpah. But Grassley had better be careful. There are 24 R sets up for reelection in November, and just ten for Ds. Ds only have to pick up a few to once again have Democratic majority (currently 54R, 45D and one independent), and Grassley will have serious butt hurt at that time. He and Joni will commiserate on the unfairness of it all.

Isnât it just precious how concerned for their sake, whoever President Obama nominates like the Constitution mandates, because of the partisan savagery and lies that Grassley will be forced to make for partisan and political loyalty to party over country? Particularly if that nominee is someone he himself knows is 100% qualified for the bench and he voted so previously for said nominee who is from his state?

Grassley? I knew that, in fact there was a discussion, maybe you were in on it, on speculation that since his term is winding down he shouldnât be allowed to make far reaching decisions which seems to be his theory of legislating and governing. The warm seat he occupies and has for six terms may be in danger from this woman.

Yep, I was in it but using your post to underscore that Grassley is up for re-eelction and is running scared (as he should be) and that we have a chance yo remove this anti-Constitutional do nothing hack.
Itâs time for us progressives to put our money where our mouths are and remove Grassley form office.

Honest to ChristâŚthe cluelessness of the GOP these days is amazingâŚfirst off, when Biden made his âspeechâ there was no nominee to CONSIDER, secondly he was talking about 2-3 months offâŚnot a YEAR. When you use the same old same old âpolitical pointsâ argument Grassley ONE MORE TIME you are just screaming âIâm a victim. Iâm a victim!â

Yes, the Democrats are trying to score political points⌠You all are politicians, scoring political points is what you doâŚ
Youâre whining about the fact that theyâre doing a better job of it than you are, and your own party committed to a position that gives the Democrats a free layup for the next 8 months. Youâre whining that youâre losing.
âGrassley also railed against the idea that White House would nominate an Iowan judge that Grassley previously praised to put pressure on him to hold nomination hearingsâ
Yes, thatâs a good tactic. Stop getting salty, and do your job, or sit back and give the American electorate another reason to hold the republican ticket in contempt this year. As a Democrat, the idea of a Trump at the top of the ticket and laundry list of Senators below actively refusing to do their job for a year makes me giggleâŚ

More importantly, Biden was imploring that if there was an opening during that time frame, that the President would work with the Senate to nominate someone they could support. And even if he didnât he said they would still do their duty and consider and vote on said hypothetical nominee even if the POTUS didnât work with he Senate on choosing an acceptable nominee.
Bidenâs speech is the exact opposite of what Grassley and the GOP are quote mining from and misrepresenting it as.
Like I said, positively Orwellian. Bidenâs speech is the exact opposite of what they are peddling it as.

Who gives a shit what Joe Biden said in 1992? The U.S. Constitution is very clear about the respective duties of the President and the Senate when it comes to Supreme Court vacancies. Unless Senator Grassley thinks Joe Bidenâs opinion is more important than the Constitution, he (Grassley) should shut up.

These people incessantly say and do incredibly incendiary and stupid things and then point to their colleagues as the villains in every ridiculous dust up.This issue is cut and dryâŚin another era the President would nominate a qualified candidate and the process would proceed. In these times of eternal political acrimony, dopes like Grassley will get their ass in a sling as the result of their OWN ill advised actions and rely on the indolence of the low information American electorate to make things right for them

In his opening statement for a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Committee Chair [Charles Grassley] accused Democrats of trying "to score as many political points as possible" by demanding President Obama's Supreme Court nominee be considered by the Senate.
