Grassley Statement at Hearing on Nominations for Circuit Courts and Federal Claims Court
Prepared
Statement by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
Chairman,
Senate Judiciary Committee
Hearing on
“Nominations”
June 14, 2017
Good
morning. Today, we’ll be hearing from two Circuit nominees and one nominee to
the Court of Federal Claims. Congratulations to all of you and to your families
and welcome to the Committee.
Before
we start today’s hearing, I just wanted to acknowledge what happened at the GOP
baseball practice this morning. We’re praying for all who were there and those
who are injured. And I want to thank the two Capitol Police officers who were
wounded and the others who were there to stop the situation from being even
worse than it was.
