Here is to hoping that Sen. Chuck Grassley does what is right for the country in the coming months. We as a country should not go a year without a replacement for Antonin Scalia. There is sure to be pressure from people in his own party to hold up any nomination put forward.
Grassley, you are in a unique position to do the right thing and show how the democratic process should work. Let us pray that reason and common sense prevails.
