WASHINGTON D.C. — All eleven Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee — including Chairman Chuck Grassley — have sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, informing the Kentucky Senator that the committee will not hold any hearings on President Barack Obama’s forthcoming nominee to take the seat left open by Justice Antonin Scalia’s unexpected death.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will not hold hearings on a Supreme Court nominee until the American people have voted and a new president is in the White House.
Sen. Chuck Grassley has decided to take the advice of Joseph Biden regarding Supreme Court nominees, and has now embraced the “Biden Rules” that the current vice-president and former Senator described in a 1992 Senate speech.
The Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest released a new chart on Thursday exclusively to Breitbart News that shows that the number of fugitive criminal aliens in America outnumbers the populations of every city in New Hampshire.
The State Department has informed the Senate Judiciary Committee that it cannot locate emails belonging to Bryan Pagliano, the former IT director for Hillary Clinton who maintained her private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Senator Grassley asks a few less obvious, but very interesting, questions beyond the basics. For example, he asks a straightforward question that the Administration has thus far been reluctant to answer: does Hillary Clinton still have an active security clearance?
This is one of the most famous women in Washington – once a celebrated rising star, groomed to be Hillary’s Mini-Me, a duchess in the Clinton royal court, subject of a hundred fawning profiles in political and pop-culture magazines – and the Obama Administration claims it could not successfully send her a letter.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved Loretta Lynch’s nomination to be attorney general, sending it to the full Senate.
Almost a dozen House Republicans are urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to block Loretta Lynch’s nomination before it even comes to the floor of the Senate. Lynch is President Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General.
