Grassley to SCOTUS justices - please retire now

https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/10/grassley-tries-to-nudge-justices-into-early-retirement/

"Said Grassley: “I just hope that if there is going to be a nominee, I hope it’s now or within two or three weeks, because we’ve got to get this done before the election. So my message to any one of the nine Supreme Court justices, if you’re thinking about quitting this year, do it yesterday.”

I thought there are no Supreme Court nominees in an election year....Oh that's right, this applies only when there is a Democratic president.....Republican presidents can do whatever the fuck they want....

he sabotaged Obama's efforts to get bi-partisan support for the ACA bill. He strung Obama along, feigning interest in supporting the legislation, then took part in the "death panel"chorus.

Grassley is a backstabber of the first order.

but, if Democrats pull off a miracle and win the Senate, they should not allow ANY federal judges to be appointed by Trump. Not just SCOTUS, but every level.

He knows what's coming and that's why the Republicans are so frantic "to get this done before the election". The big blue wave is a comin' to get 'em!
