Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is firing back at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for saying Democrats will filibuster Judge Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court nomination, by saying Schumer is failing in his basic duty as a senator by taking that position.
“Let me tell you this … I like Schumer, he’s a good senator, and I’ve worked with him on some things,” he told the Washington Examiner. “But there’s something about [former Democratic Leader Harry] Reid and Schumer and maybe even some Republican leaders, that once you get to be a leader, it destroys you as a senator.”
