(CNSNews.com) – Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said on the Senate floor Thursday that he will not bow to pressure from Democrats to consider President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland.
Grassley argued that the American people should decide the direction of the high court when they vote for the next president.
“It is no secret that the White House strategy is to put pressure on this chairman of the Judiciary Committee and other Republicans in the hopes that we can be worn down and ultimately agree to hold hearings on the nominee,” said Grassley.

Last time was about 1888. He’s just being a smart a$$ again as usual.
Chuck Gressley, Antonin Scalia, hmmmm ....what do they have in common?
I sincerely hope Senator Grassley sticks to his word.
+1 GOP.
Cave in 3, 2, ...
Grassley is a tough old bird...I hope they don’t have anything on him.....
I do not trust him. Former Iowan that notes Grassley keeps his head down and avoids conflict. His lauded defense of whistleblowers has rarely produced positive results.

Grassley and commie tommy Harkin got the ethanol scam rolling across the great plains to the detriment of the country.
first time the pubbies will stand up to this stain, obammy?
Nahhh.
No confidence the pubbies will do anything cept maybe shed cruz and Trump from their election.
If it remains "no", then it will be the first time he has heard it when it actually meant "no".
He did tremendous damage but he couldn't have managed it all without the consent of the Repubs who refused to take a stand against him because they want to remain as ensconced as the Dems. That's why all them that originally called Cruz too radical are now working with him to stop Trump - they can discard Cruz's carcass after the goal is achieved.
