Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, will be the next chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the chamber's lead panel on taxes and trade.

“Looking ahead, at the Finance Committee, I want to continue to work to make sure that as many Americans as possible get to experience this good economy for themselves,” Grassley said in a release.

Grassley previously served as the committee’s chairman twice, once for a six-month stint in 2001, then from January 2003 to January 2007. He’s also twice served as the committee’s ranking member.

Grassley gives up his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he oversaw the nomination processes for Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, in order to take the top slot at the Finance Committee.

Due to Senate Republican rules, Grassley can only serve as Finance Committee chairman during the upcoming Congress.

So, if Ruth is forced to resign, Grassley will have another circus to serve as ringmaster in.

So, if Ruth is forced to resign, Grassley will have another circus to serve as ringmaster in.

I'm thinking Grassley's move is predicated on 1: enough Pubbie Senators to get Trump's nominees confirmed without him and 2: to stand in the front line of the Senate against the House Rats orgy of asinine social spending.
