WaTimes: Sen. Charles E. Grassley will meet with Judge Merrick Garland, but only to tell him why he won’t get a full hearing before the Judiciary Committee nor have his Supreme Court nomination considered by the Senate this year, Mr. Grassley’s office said Monday.
The meeting alone is significant since many GOP senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, have declined a meeting, saying it would not be worthwhile on a nomination that isn’t going anywhere.
Mr. Grassley, Iowa Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, spoke with Judge Garland by phone Monday, and issued an invite to breakfast — though the date hasn’t been set yet.
Doesn’t grassley have a pen or a phone?
Senators must have time to waste.
No I don’t trust grassley.
Of course he is! Did anyone think differently!
Grassley is just another lying POS politician. Why even meet with this progressive asshole in the first place? 😡
Treason. Limp wristed republicans need to learn how to play by Harry Reid’s rules. No way in hell would Reid allow a Republican appointed nominee to proceed. Turn about is fair play.
Why would he want to meet with Judy Garland, anyway? She’s been dead for years.
Oh, wait –
Is Mr. Grassley retiring? If he keeps doing this sort of thing, he will be retired soon.
