Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on the Senate floor Thursday that he will not bow to pressure from Democrats to consider President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland, because the American people should decide the direction of the high court when they vote for president.
