Barrett Confirmation Today
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley doubled down on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, saying she will be confirmed later today. In other words, nothing’s changed. Says Grassly, “The vote will be 51-49, 52-48 and we know that right now.”
Barrett will become the third justice placed on the highest court in the land by President Trump, despite desperate attempts from the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats to derail or postpone the vote. “President Trump promised the type of people he was going to put on the Supreme Court and this is one of that type, what you might call a strict constructionist,” Grassley says. “As opposed to what Democrats might have put on, justices who like to legislate.”
Appearing over the weekend on Fox News, Grassley also opines on the voting process and the lack of any Democrat votes for Barrett and their threat of “packing the court” if Joe Biden wins the election.
