Grassley’s Hypocrisy on the Court | Des Moines News

from Des Moines News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Senator Chuck Grassley’s 2016 decision to block Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination—arguing it was too close to the election—is now being called out as hypocritical, especially after he helped fast-track Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation just weeks before the 2020 election. Critics are demanding court reform, like term limits or rotating justices, but Grassley fiercely opposes such changes, invoking FDR’s 1937 court-packing plan. The irony? His own actions are seen as undermining the very balance he claims to uphold, turning a decades-old controversy into a fresh debate about the court’s legitimacy and direction.
