Grassley Wisely Plays Chess with Administration Over Scalia Replacement Hearings

The Republican head of the Senate panel that weighs Supreme Court nominations said on Tuesday he will wait until President Barack Obama names his pick to fill the vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia's death before deciding whether to hold confirmation hearings.

<snip>

"I would wait until the nominee is made before I would make any decisions" about confirmation hearings, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said, according to Radio Iowa. "In other words, take it a step at a time."

<snip>

Grassley is essentially saying, "Hey, maybe we will have hearings if you don't nominate someone entirely objectionable." Merely hinting at that possibility creates some cover for Senate Republicans. Should he nominate someone polarizing (does he even know anyone who isn't?) Grassley and Co. can say, "Hey, we tried."
