Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) had a message for aging Supreme Court
justices who may be on the fence about retirement: "If you're thinking
about quitting this year, do it yesterday."
Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the remark
on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” on Thursday.
“If there is going to be a nominee, I hope it’s now or within two or three
weeks, because we’ve got to get this done before the election. And there’s
generally about 50, 60, 70 days between the time a president nominates
somebody and we get a hearing in committee, and then another two weeks
before it gets to the floor,” Grassley said. "This has to be done before
the November election."
He later clarified that he wasn't trying to pressure a justice into
retirement. He said he was merely pointing out how long it takes to
process a nomination, so if a justice wants their replacement to be
nominated by President Trump and confirmed by a GOP-controlled Senate, the
best time to retire is now.
Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who turns 82 in July, has reportedly
been considering retiring when the current term expires next month.
On "Outnumbered," Lisa Boothe noted that many voters said the vacant
Supreme Court seat was what motivated them to vote in the 2016 election.
President Trump eventually nominated the conservative-leaning Neil
Gorsuch, who was confirmed after Senate Republicans used the "nuclear
option" to get rid of the 60-vote filibuster.
Boothe noted that Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), who faces a difficult re-
election bid, recently said that if Kennedy retired, it would give
Republicans something with which to rally their base and drive turnout.
"I’m hoping [it] will get our base a little motivated because right now
they’re not very motivated. But I think a new Supreme Court justice will
get them motivated,” Heller said.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
