https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/10/grassley-tries-to-nudge-justices-into-early-retirement/"Said Grassley: I just hope that if there is going to be a nominee, I hope its now or within two or three weeks, because weve got to get this done before the election. So my message to any one of the nine Supreme Court justices, if youre thinking about quitting this year, do it yesterday.
I thought there are no Supreme Court nominees in an election year....Oh that's right, this applies only when there is a Democratic president.....Republican presidents can do whatever the fuck they want....

Grassley is a backstabber of the first order.
