| | | | Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, gave a speech at Kent Corporation in Muscatine, Iowa, his home state. In response to a question, he told those in attendance that an upcoming vacancy on the Supreme Court was “rumored,” and added that he personally “would expect a resignation this summer.” Since Grassley heads the Judiciary Committee, which is the group tasked with approving the next Justice, many believe Grassley knows something everyone else doesn’t. When asked about whether or not the new Justice will be chosen from the same list used for Gorsuch, Grassley said, “I don’t know about racial and ethnic divisions, but there’s some very good females on there that would make good Supreme Court Justices as well.” Unfortunately, he didn’t provide any additional details. |
