"Grassley: Gorsuch willing to be a judge, not a legislator" PBS NewsHour 3/20/2017
SEN. CHARLES GRASSLEY: A few, but I don’t think very many. I think the base of the Democrat Party is very strongly wanting to demonstrate two things, one, that they may not approve of his approach to the law and the Constitution, and, secondly, they want to make a case that Garland should have been approved last year.
This is a total lie. All Democrats wanted is a VOTE on Garland. The Senate could have done so and NOT approved him.
