Is Chuck Grassley a man of his word?

Friends, I am excited. By the time this is published, we’ll likely finally have an answer to what sort of character Charles Grassley has.

In 2016, when a Supreme Court justice died nine months before the election, Chuck said it was “too close” to the election and the political situation was “too volatile”. The nominee wouldn’t get a “fair hearing”.

So, he didn’t allow a vote on the new nominee.

Now, a justice has died a month and a half before the election, in a volatile situation. But now Chuck’s own “team” could benefit. So, we get to see, in one moment: Does Chuck have integrity? Or is he just a political game player?

Is Chuck Grassley a man of his word? A man of conviction? Or is his conviction just “my team should win no matter the cost”?

Seems to me that people should stick to their word — I don’t think that’s just a conservative or liberal or moderate thing. But maybe I’m just old fashioned. Someone gives a reason for their actions; it would be nice to believe them.

So, let’s see: What kind of man is Chuck Grassley? Should we believe him anymore? Or is he just playing games?

What kind of legacy to you want to leave, Chuck? Man of principles? Or political schemer?

We’re waiting to see.
