Chuck Grassley Drops Hint at Retirement of Supreme Court Justice

EXCERPT:

KARL: "Good morning, Amy. Predicting a Supreme Court vacancy is tricky business. Justices tend to be extremely secretive about their plans until they actually announce them. But we noticed quite a hint in a small Iowa newspaper. The 'Muscatine Journal' interviewed Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa who told the paper, 'I would expect a resignation this summer.' So why is that significant? Well Chuck Grassley is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. That's the committee that would hold the hearings on President Trump's next nominee. If there is anybody in Congress who would know about such things it is Chuck Grassley. And more than that, Amy, this is consistent with what I have been hearing in conservative legal circles for weeks; that -- that Justice Kennedy has been telling friends and colleagues that he intends to retire this year -- possibly after the current term of the Supreme Court is up on June 30th."
