We have much more on recent advancements in fighting cancer on our website, fox 28 iowa dot com. From the iowa senator who could block that from happening when the fox 28 back and forth continues tonight as democrats and republicans weigh in on the future of the United States Supreme Court.

And well have more on the fallout in just a moment. To show you these powerful Images Released today. This is Justice Scalias seat on the Supreme Court bench. It is draped in black, in rememberance of the 79year old. Justice scalia will lie in repose in the great hall of the Supreme Court on friday. Funeral services are pending. Scalias death came right in the middle of the judicial session. Session. His now vacant seat is triggering a massive political battle. Republicans are not happy to see a democrat president potentially replace the man considered to be the most conservative member of the high court. Court. But thats exactly what president obama intends to do. Id all three branches of government need to do their jobs. Iintend to do my job between now and january 20th of 2017 and i expect them to do their job as well. I think that we have more than enough time to go regegar order, regular nominate somebody, to present them to the American People, to present them to the senate. I expect them to hold hearings. I expect there to be a vote. Vote. For the president s eventual pick to serve on the Supreme Court, that vote would require a supermajority, or 60 votes in favor, in the senate. Before that, the nominee has to pass a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee Following testimony before that panel. The man who would lead those hearings is iowa senator Chuck Grassley. Grassley. Hours after the death of justice scalia, senator grassley appeared unwilling to consider any selection by the president. President. Saying quote it only makes sense that we defer to the American People who will elect a new president to select the next Supreme Court justice. The senator elaborated on that remark today in marengo. Marengo. I believe that thats the right thing to do because its a very important position and it would be kind of in line with what Democratic Leaders said in the tail end senator grassley is correct, many of the same democrats attacking his position had the same view in 2008 when president bush tried to nominate federal judges in his final months. Grassley did say once the president makes his selection, he e is willing to consider opening hearings. But he also says his main concern is that any nominee would shift the balance of power on the high court. If there isnt a confirmation in the next few months, a number of controversial cases could end in a fourfour split decision on the Supreme Court. Court.
