Grassley spits out the truth re: SCOTUS delay

[kpete]

Grassley told the activists that when someone asked him for an update on the nomination last week, he said that "an update would suggest that something has changed" and that he still intends to block any nominee until the next president takes office.

He said that preventing "another liberal" from joining the Supreme Court was necessary to keep "even the reasonable restrictions on abortion that have been enacted into law through the democratic process" from being "swept away." […]

"But we know that justices who embrace the view that the Constitution is a living document don't share that view that you and I share," he said. "The American people, through their elected representatives, should be making these policy decisions, not unelected judges. These are life-and-death issues that we're fighting for. They show just how important this fight over who's going to fill Scalia's seat is."

1. Every time Grassley speaks

he triggers my ophidiophobia (fear of snakes). And with good reason.

2. Proves one thing.

Old Chuckie has never had a original thought or comment on real issues. His campaign coffers just hit the Jackpot. You know the Religious-Right-Wing-Nut-Jobs-in his home town are cutting checks to his Campaign as we speak. Many of our Iowan Rellies by into his shtick and are his go to money supporters.

4. It proves the GOP understand none of these abortion restriction laws are constitutional

and would fail in a fair court so they need a total sell out to humanity like Scalia to have a prayer of keeping them. Once again they hate humanity and the constitution. Why people vote republican I'll never understand.

5. To this day,always thought the Iowa Voters were

smarter than this. Senator Chuckle Nuts and Hog Nuts. Really!

7. Yep. If we name a replacement, the whole charade is over. nt

6. This is why I'm excited about a Trump nomination

He'll help us clean the crap like Grassley out of House and Senate. He has fantastic negative coattails.
