Grassley screwed up. The proper response was “The Senate will not attend to specious accusations not made in accordance with established procedures.” That should have been the end of it. Sure, the Rats would howl but Grassley’s consideration of Ford has benefited how?
I won’t hold my breath, but I would hope this would all be handled very differently next time, when we have a replacement for RBG. The whole nomination process ought to be a rubber-stamp after this. The Dems have broken the process. Okay. Fine. No process. Just seat the next Justice.
Ol’ Chuck wants everyone to know how “fair” he is.
Virtue signaling at the expense of justice.
Grassley screwed up bigtime.....played for a sucker by the power-starved Democrats......and it appears he was completely oblivious to it all.
Grassley’s pussy-footing around Ford gave the Democrats traction and time to advance their plots.
Like their humble servant, Grassley laid the power of the Senate at the feet of Democrats.......
They were sitting in the driver’s seat forging ahead as Grassley hummed Kumbaya in the rumble seat
