Iowa Senator Joni Ernst
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak, says she supports fellow U-S Senator Chuck Grassley in his decision to not hold a hearing on any nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court until after November’s election.
Ernst Says, “I agree with Senator Chuck Grassley on this, and do things that the American people will have a voice this fall, when they go out to the ballot box.”
Grassley, who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee has been taking heat from Democrats who say the public spoke by electing the president in 2012 and he should be able to nominate someone. Ernst says that because the voters elected a Republican congress in 2014, that they aren’t happy with President Barack Obama.
