Many Republican senators have said they wouldn’t meet with Garland, but there have been a handful of exceptions, including Grassley, who have said they’re willing to meet Obama’s nominee, D.C. Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland.
Aaaaand just keep breathing oxygen into this story, guys…
To paraphrase Judge Roy Bean:
Does he think meeting, THEN not holding hearings, shows him to be approaching this in a … Ahem…fair and balanced manner? If you’re not holding the hearings, why meet with him? To explain to him that the people that elected Obama in '12 aren’t worth a damn, and that he’s waiting until the people speak in the correct fashion?
As soon as this Dingus’s opponent is selected I’m writing a check.
Drippity-Drip-Drip.
The Des Moines Register ripped Grassley a new one on Monday for his intransigence over the Garland nomination. That’s why he’s agreeing to meet now.
