Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley signaled that he is open to possibly acting on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee after the November elections.
Republican leaders have pledged not to take up the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland, though a few senators have raised the possibility of a hearing or confirmation vote during a lame duck session between Election Day and when the new Congress is seated in January.

With Grassey hinting that that the Senate Republicans will be willing to act on Garland, the Democrats are going to exploit his statements and push for a senate vote.
If hillary wins, Garland might be a step up.
With her in the White House, any insane *ssclown is a possibility.
Idiot or sold- out traitor. Or both
The only way they should do that is if Hillary wins. Garland is no conservative, but he seems to be to the right of Sotomayer and Ginsburg. I’d be very afraid to see who Hillary nominates.
Grassley has held firm and taken heat in his report election. He is not traitor this only happens if Hillary wins as he may be safer choice
The men behind the curtain are lining it up in case they want the SCOTUS to decide the election.
Grassey is not playing to win the Court, he is not even playing to tie, he is playing to lose the Court.
The GOP really does have a death wish.......
No surprise. They were just waiting for the primaries to get over to stab us in the back, again. I’ve no doubt this comes straight from McConnell.
“Grassley has held firm and taken heat in his report election. He is not traitor this only happens if Hillary wins as he may be safer choice”
That makes no sense.
If Hillary wins, Garland is going under the bus the day after the election.

He’s only “held firm” because they primaries were still to be held. Now that they are over he didn’t even wait one day to drop this stink bomb. Now is when the rubber meets the road on this issue.
What a POC!! He is old and confused!! STOP HIM!!
Doesn’t surprise me at all.
It’s Obamaland.
The American left is getting EVERY SINGLE THING it wants.
And my fellow “conservatives” keep voting for it. :)

If Hillary wins and the dems get the senate, Hillary would nominate someone far left of Garland.

Never play the Prevent Defense in football and do not play the Prevent Defense with our Supreme Court.
Right.
If Trump loses in November, the Republicans would be insane not to try to confirm Garland. He would be very bad, but any of Hillary’s nominees are bound to be far, far worse.
Of course, the smart time to discuss this would be after the election in November. Not now.
“Report election”? Looks like one more victory for auto spell LOL.

If Hillary wins and we lose the senate, we aren’t even on the field ...
