Sen. Chuck Grassley, the gatekeeper to the federal judiciary from his perch as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said that "there's no problem with Trump appointing people to the Supreme Court." Now that Trump has demonstrated just how profoundly racist he would be in nominating judges, you'd think maybe Grassley would take his job a little more seriously and back off of his support for the Republican nominee. You'd think wrong.
Donald Trump's comments that a federal judge could not be impartial because of his ethnicity shouldn't raise concerns about who Trump would nominate to the federal bench, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley said. […]
Grassley said Trump's comments do not raise concerns about who he would nominate to the federal courts since the Senate would have to confirm his picks. […]
"Even if he was picking people for the lower courts, you wouldn't expect anything different from what he'd say for the Supreme Court," Grassley
Grassley also suggested Trump's propensity for filing lawsuits showed some level of respect for the judicial branch.
"He must respect the judiciary," Grassley said. "I've seen statistics that he's won over 400 cases, only lost 30."
Oh, lordy. Yes, he really said that. Trump respects the judicial branch because he's sue-happy. You can't make this shit up.
