Grassley Fires Off Searing Letter To Democrats Accusing Them Of Abusing Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Process

Hank Berrien

On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), fed up with the political shenanigans and machinations of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee as they try to derail the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, fired off a heated letter to those same Democrats, bluntly accusing them of abusing the confirmation process.

Grassley commenced by noting the Democrats wanted Grassley to eschew reopening the hearing on the nomination on Monday, as Kavanaugh’s accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, had made serious allegations against the judge. Grassley agreed Ford had a right to be heard, but noted that a hearing would allow her the chance to testify under oath, as Ford’s attorney had requested. Grassley added that holding a hearing would allow Kavanaugh to address the allegations without further delay.
