McConnell can force Grassley off the Judiciary Committee, if he really means business about ending the blue slip tradition. We’ll see how he proceeds.
“McConnell can force Grassley off the Judiciary Committee,”
Right after we all see supersonic pigs flying around in the sky.
This is just another typical Good Cop, Bad Cop follow the magic bouncing ball routine.
Grassley gets on our good graces because it ‘appears’ he is working for us and Mitch is tired of handling the hot potato. So he just cleverly passes it off to someone who has the ability to bury it in procedural horsecrap.
McConnell can’t force Grassley off, he doesn’t have the backing, support to do such a thing.
McConnell is doing this because he is feeling the heat, his poll numbers back in KY are in the tank. He’s trying to change the subject from the fact that he is a loser on repealing Obamacrap and delivering tax reform. He’s a poor leader and it shows.
