Leave it to the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to seemingly own up to the truth about his GOP colleaguesâ questioning of Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearing on her nomination to join the U.S. Supreme Court.
Ranking Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa all but admitted to a constituent that the GOP line of questioning was intended mainly to put the senatorsâ faces and voices on the Fox News Channel.
Do you think, Sen. Grassley?
A woman on TikTok told Grassley that was her opinion, that Sens. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Marsha Blackburn were seeking face time on Fox. âI donât dispute that,â Grassley responded.
Well ⌠whatâs done is done. The senators got their wish.
However, many millions of Americans â such as yours truly â came away from the hearing thinking far better of Judge Jackson for the poise and stamina she exhibited and far less of the senators who exposed their ignorance and boorishness.
