YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBefore Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley were Majority Leader and Judiciary Committee Chairman, respectively, both Senators had a long record of defending the Senate's constitutional role to approve nominees to the United States Supreme Court. In fact, Chairman Grassley once said on the Senate floor in 1987 that “we are never going to view a Supreme Court Justice as if it’s an elected position subject to campaigning as we do in our role as running as Senators.” Now, it seems like Sen. Grassley is considering a step away from Leader McConnell’s historic Supreme Court shutdown plan.
