    Grassley suggests if there’s a SCOTUS vacancy in 2020, GOP will try to fill it with a Trump appointee - unlike in 2016 when McConnell kept it vacant, citing the election yearhttps://twitter.com/andbatt/status/994928132963622912?s=21 …

        Manu Raju Retweeted Andrew Batt

        Grassley apparently also noted that he personally would follow the precedent set in 2016, denying a Supreme Court appointment in a presidential election year. His comments reflected what he believed McConnell/Trump would do.https://twitter.com/AndBatt/status/994946543433277440 …

        Key context: @ChuckGrassley told me before @IowaPublicTV taping that he would “have to follow” the “Biden” rule in 2020. His @IowaPress comments were his opinion of POTUS & McConnell thinking https://twitter.com/andbatt/status/994928132963622912 …

        We are living in an upside down world where #hypocrisy and #misogyny are rewarded when you are @GOP without any seeming consequence. Still hope Democrats will pursue decency and dignity because the tide will turn eventually and the public will break out of this trance.

        No. 2 wrongs don’t equal a right. Instead, pass legislation to make sure it never happens again!

        Totally get your desire to give them somebody of their own medicine! We just really need our government to be functional. Vindictiveness and partisanship is not a sustainable or desirable strategy for governing.

        It’s time to consider the notion that McConnell decided to block Garland because Jeff Sessions told him the Russians offered aid to GOP in 2016 cycle. The timing of GOP stance lines up with earliest Sessions may have known about Russian interests.

        That's why the hypocrites need to be voted out. McConnell refusing to go forward with Garland was treason, pure and simple.

        I was a registered Independent for almost 30 years. The Dems aren’t infallible, but I am now officially a Democrat because of this GOP shitshow. I come from a long line of decent & honorable republicans. That party is gone.
