Grassley has to keep all of the puppies in the box. In this case, the wandering puppies are Collins, Corker, Flake, and Murkowski. They need three of the four to confirm Kavanaugh, so Grassley has had to bend over backwards to keep them happy. That’s how things work with the overstuffed egos of the Senate.

Exactly right. Grassley is not to blame. Do FReepers want him to force a losing vote?

We, as registered, voting USA taxpayers desperately need Senate term limits. No overstuffed egos with term limits. Very few aging dinosaurs also. Average age of a US Senator is 64*.

Senate need to be conducted by teleconferencing also. Keep those working for us at home more where they belong. Puts a definite crimp in lobbying and other nefarious stuff.

* that list is out of date as it still lists McCain and Reid.
