Mike Davis [@mrddmia], former chief counsel for nominations for Senator [@ChuckGrassley] on the [@senjudiciary] Committee and now president of the Article III Project, says that . . .
“Senator [@ChuckGrassley] was the key figure in keeping the Scalia seat open, and on President [@realDonaldTrump’s] historic transformation of the federal judiciary.”
“Chairman [@LindseyGrahamSC] has said that he would move forward with a nomination, and I am confident that Senator [@ChuckGrassley] will fully support that nomination.”
[@ChuckGrassley] has emphasized publicly that the decision would be [@LindseyGrahamSC’s], and Davis [@mrddmia] notes that Grassley has said that he would support Graham’s decision. So, whatever Grassley’s misgivings, they should not deter Republicans from moving forward.

BREAKING: Today, A3P filed an amicus brief in the D.C. Court of Appeals defending former DOJ official Jeff Clark from the latest round of partisan lawfare.
This case isn’t about ethics. It’s about punishing Trump allies for doing their jobs. We won't stay silent.
“Merrick Garland’s partisanship and dishonesty were on full display today before the House Judiciary Committee. Garland, with marching orders from his boss Joe Biden, has politicized and weaponized the Biden Justice Department to go after Biden’s political enemies." - @mrddmia
"Most notably, Christians, parents, and conservatives. We learned...Weiss indeed did not have full authority during the Hunter Biden investigation, something that directly contradicted Garland’s previous statements about the powers Weiss held in the investigation." - @mrddmia
Article III Project Statement on Hunter Biden Indictment
"Today’s indictment of Hunter Biden for gun felonies is just more coverup by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has protected the Bidens for years." - @mrddmia
"Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat home-state senators in Delaware, let the statute of limitations expire on serious tax charges, buried evidence deemed credible by the Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney of the Bidens’ alleged foreign bribery schemes..." - @mrddmia
"...and attempted to give Hunter a sweetheart deal with secret, broad immunity that protected President Biden.
President Biden knows he cannot pardon Hunter right now. That would lead to politically and legally disastrous consequences before November 5, 2024." - @mrddmia
"Today’s special counsel appointment is Garland’s next coverup for—and protection of—his boss, President Joe Biden." - @mrddmia
"Since early 2020, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat senators, buried evidence deemed credible by another U.S. attorney that Biden is compromised by a $10 million foreign bribe as Vice President." - @mrddmia
"The FBI knew then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had an illegal home server with America's most classified secrets, almost certainly hacked by our worst enemies." - @mrddmia
"The FBI also knew Hillary's illegal home server contained evidence of the Clinton Foundation's illegal pay-for-play bribery schemes. The FBI knew Hillary obstructed justice by destroying this server in the face of a congressional subpoena." - @mrddmia
