Grassley, old fellow, you damn well want to exterminate the left when you have a chance. The president should not be passing on an opportunity to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. Go for the kill !

Declaration could put Iowa Republican at odds with Mitch McConnell
Revealing a potentially contentious Republican chasm, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley told Fox News on Tuesday night that if he still leads the committee in 2020 and a Supreme Court seat becomes vacant, the panel would not consider a nominee.
That could put the Iowa Republican at odds with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
McConnell signaled last week that he could reverse himself and consider what would be a third high court nominee for President Donald Trump should a vacancy arise in 2020. The Kentucky Republican famously blocked President Barack Obama’s election-year nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016.

B.S. The rule applies only if the Democrats control the Senate and the President is a Republican. Grassley is a fool. If the GOP controls the Senate it BETTER DAMN WELL APPROVE TRUMP’S NOMINEE!!!
Grassley needs to STFU!!! So-called “collegiality” in the Senate has never gotten us anywhere. We must be relentless against the filthy Rats.
If RBG or the Wise Latina drop dead we WILL fill the seat or there will be hell to pay!! If Grassley doesn’t want to do it, then he needs to step down as the chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Grassley should retire.
He is past his shelf life.
Grassley said if he were Chairman ... he gave his word not to bring a nominee in an election season, leaving him the option of stepping down as
Chairman to allow a nominee to be moved forward.
Grassley was the idiot who wasted everyone’s time 2 Fridays ago when he ALLOWED that lying conniving bitch Ford to open her mouth. He’s a Never Trumper.
It was good while it lasted folks.
Doubt Grassley will be in the position to carry out that prediction/promise when yhe time comes. He can say almost anything does not make it true.
WTF?
Grassley, old fellow, you damn well want to exterminate the left when you have a chance. The president should not be passing on an opportunity to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. Go for the kill !
Did Grassley, just, make RBG one of the walking dead? 5-3 is as good as 5-4.
Trying to play nice! I guess he’s already forgotten what the Dimms did over the few weeks. My guess, he’ll be replaced as chair right after the midterms.
“Grassley was the idiot who wasted everyone’s time 2 Fridays ago when he ALLOWED that lying conniving bitch Ford to open her mouth. He’s a Never Trumper.”
We have a winner. Smearing Kavanaugh’s reputation in the process.
Mitch can pull his ticket tomorrow. Grassley doesn’t run the Senate. He’ll be walking this back in a heartbeat.
He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer and has to be told almost everything that comes out of his mouth. Obviously he won’t be heading the committee in 2019.
Grassley better get ready to RUMBLE with McConnell AND Trump if we have the majority!!!! Grassley’s phone and twitter are going to be on fire STUPID MISTAKE!!! He is STILL not used to winning, still thinks they are doormats!!!
Seems he wants to honor the Merrik Garland rule that precluded Garland from serving. No Supremes to the court during a Presidential election year.
“Mitch can pull his ticket tomorrow. Grassley doesn’t run the Senate. “
Mitch and Grassley are rino turds of a feather.
'Zactly ---> own goal....
If Garland had been put up for a vote he would have been voted down anyway WE HAD THE MAJORITY!!! The Dems THOUGHT they would win, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!!
McConnell doesn’t need the Judiciary committee for the ‘advise and consent’ component of the Constitution. It’s only ‘rules’ of the Senate that make the committee necessary.
Turtle can bring ANY nominee to the full Senate at his discretion.
You are correct sir. Last Sunday Grasseley repeatedly told dumb wallass this point. However, wallass refused to listen and kept badgering the Senator.
