On day 23,767 in office, foggy 91-year-old waterboy Chuck Grassley looks to handcuff the judiciary as Trump tries to tear down democracy

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 3/27/2025

Brianne Pfannenstiel reports on why it's time for Chuck to resign.
As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Grassley announced he will hold a hearing April 2 that will focus on "exploring legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of universal injunctions." 
It comes as district court judges have temporarily blocked key policy rollouts from the Trump administration, including efforts to ban transgender people from serving in the military, end birthright citizenship and cull the federal workforce. 
"I think the bottom line answer to the question is, we need legislation," Grassley told reporters on a media call Wednesday. 
"I doubt if any legislation should be passed that would stop all national injunctions," he said. "But the principle here is that in most cases, an injunction … should only be against something in that judicial district and just for the people that are involved in the case. And it should only be for a temporary period of time while you're seeking an answer to the questions."
