During a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, Democratic members walked out as the committee prepared to vote on President Trump’s lawyer for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Democrats attempted to invoke “Rule 4” to allow debate, but Chairman Chuck Grassley ignored it, and Democrats sought intervention from the Senate Parliamentarian. The Democrats aimed to call whistleblowers to testify, and accused Grassley of violating the committee’s rules and decorum by refusing to hear statements. Multiple senators condemned the process as a “kangaroo court,” while former Senator Heidi Heitkamp mentioned rumors of Trump’s plans to nominate Bove to the U.S. Supreme Court.
