FreedomWorks Praises Chuck Grassley for Resolve in Supreme Court Fight

FreedomWorks today praised Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for resisting a coordinated effort by liberal groups to pressure him into holding hearings and votes on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.

“The fight over the future of the Supreme Court is one of the most important battles we’ve faced in recent memory. Chairman Grassley has shown tremendous resolve in this fight and withstood a barrage of attacks from Democrats and liberal groups,” said FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon. “Apparently, those who are targeting him don’t understand that the Senate is not an extension of the White House; it’s not a rubber stamp for any administration. That’s something Democrats believed in previous judicial nominations but have so conveniently forgotten.”

FreedomWorks aims to educate, build, and mobilize the largest network of activists advocating the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty and the rule of law. For more information, please visit www.FreedomWorks.org or contact Jason Pye at JPye@freedomworks.org.
