It was nearly six years ago when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died unexpectedly. President Barack Obama soon after nominated Judge Merrick Garland, a center-left, compromise jurist — who'd received praise from Senate Republicans — to fill the vacancy.
For now, the political dynamic is different — Democrats control both the White House and the Senate, which wasn't the case in 2016 — but Republicans believe there's a strong likelihood that the GOP will soon reclaim the Senate majority, at which point they'll be ready to impose another Supreme Court blockade. CNNSenate Republicans are poised to deny President Joe Biden an appointment to the Supreme Court if they take the majority in the 2022 midterm elections.
If a Democratic president nominates someone for the high court, a GOP-led Senate is likely to prioritize partisanship, not merit.
Wake up America !!🤬 Some people have amnesia about what GOP does to this country when they take control 🤬
He is evil
Omg. This guy looks more dead than alive. Resign and let someone with more vigor take over.
.. this shouldn’t surprise anyone…
Who remembers that time Grassley hit a deer and assumed it was dead because it was at night and there was no carcass?
Breyer MUST retire from SCOTUSblog while TheDemocrats still have control if the Senate cuz if LeaderMcConnell is in charge he will not let JoeBiden nominate anyone…..even if it happens on Jan 3, 2023. GQPTraitorsToDemocracy GQPDeathCult
He needs to retire.
Why do we still have old white men running this country. We ARE better than this!
it's obscene this old goat out there telling his fables
Just another reason … to oust old farts … pray for youth in Congress and Senate! The constitution was written by 20ish year olds!!!
He's embalmed. Pay no attention to the walking dead.
They are desperate for any means to obtain power, greed and money. Term limits for Congress!!!!
There is nothing that the Republicans do that is good for anything other than keeping everything the way it is so they can have power
Scalia was murdered, not died in a bed screaming into a pillow.
Senator Grassy-ass is un-American

They make up stuff all the time. Like the make believe impeachment trials of the last two presidents that were impeached. Was it for the TV camera? That’s what America gets now, 177K a year crackpots in Congress and crackpots for Presidents. Here’s 42 and 45. Buddies.
Senile old bat.
Isn't there a pasture in his state?

Democracy631 MaddowBlog Chuck Grassley's statement in 2016: “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”
