Sign the petition: Tell Grassley to hold confirmation hearings for SCOTUS nominee
Senator Chuck Grassley
UPDATE (Wednesday, March 16, 2016 11:15 ET): President Obama has nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court seat.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has changed his messaging on obstructing President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.
After rejecting any possibility of confirming a Justice this year--and lying about Senate procedure to make the GOP's partisan obstructionism seem reasonable--Sen. Grassley has now weakened his stance, claiming that he hasn't decided whether to hold a hearing on Obama's Supreme Court pick.
As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the panel that holds high-profile hearings for Supreme Court nominees, Sen. Grassley can hold up the confirmation process before it even begins by simply not holding a hearing.
Sen. Grassley's shifting stance is a move in the right direction. Tell him to give up the partisan games and allow confirmation hearings for whomever the president nominates.
Sign the petition: Give it up, Grassley. Hold confirmation hearings for the President's Supreme Court nominee.
UPDATE (Thursday, Feb 18, 2016, 5:12 PM ET): Sen. Grassley has now changed his mind three times.
