As if it just occurred to him, Sen. Chuck Grassley is admitting that the whole blockade of President Obama's Supreme Court nominee for the duration of his last year in office might have a bit of a downside: the Republican front-runner.
"If Trump's elected president, it probably is a little more unknown than if there's a [Sen. Ted] Cruz elected president," Grassley said Wednesday in an interview on the Iowa radio show "In Depth." "I would have to admit it's a gamble." […]
Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, is standing by his decision not to hold confirmation hearings this year.
"I haven't second-guessed myself," he said. "It's a gamble on who's going to be the next president of the United States. I second-guess that. But I guess that's a point that I'm willing to take."
Gee, thanks Chuck, for gambling with the highest court in the land. It's not like it matters, or anything.
Does the gatekeeper of the federal judiciary, the actual chairman of the actual Judiciary Committee, have any business making these kinds of decisions for the country? Does he even deserve a place in the Senate? No. Let's get him out of there.
