Poll: Grassley not hurt by Supreme Court fight

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley isn’t happy about one of President Barack Obama’s most recent vetoes. He’s also upset with the way Congress blocked one of his Iowa colleague’s attempt to reign in the control of the EPA. A joint resolution introduced in September and sponsored by Sen. Joni Ernst, S.J.R. Res. 22, was vetoed by President Barack Obama on Jan. 19. The resolution would have blocked the new federal “waters of the United States” regulations that would affect the streams, ponds and rivers in Jasper County and across Iowa. Read More

Letter: Chuck Grassley is showing leadership

We have a unique opportunity for the American people to have a voice in the direction of the Supreme Court. The American people should be afforded the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. Our side believes very strongly that the people deserve to be heard and they should be allowed to decide, through their vote for the next President, the type of person who should be on the Supreme Court. As I’ve stated previously, this is a reasonable approach, it is a fair approach and it is the historical approach – one echoed by then-chairman Biden and Senators Schumer and other senators.

Civil asset forfeiture reforms needed

When the Justice Department in December suspended its civil asset forfeiture program promoting the seizure of cash and property — often without criminal charges — it was hoped reforms would follow. Civil asset forfeiture is another creation of the anti-drug frenzy of the 1980s that birthed such draconian laws as the mandatory sentencing guidelines that have made the U.S. the world leader in incarcerations. A 1984 amendment to the 1970 Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act gave law enforcement additional tools to pursue drug kingpins by letting agencies keep 80 percent of the booty seized. States followed suit. Iowa divides 90 percent of the assets seized among agencies involved. The state Attorney General’s office and public safety departments get the remainder. Iowa law enforcement agencies also got $36 million from federal forfeiture between 2000-13, according to the libertarian Institute for Justice, which has documented abuses. Read More
