Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa). I don’t want a Democrat appointing my successor, who would then be a Democrat, not a Republican. Of the 11 Republican senators on Grassley’s committee, all were men, all but one were white, and their average age was 62. Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) swears in Christine Blasey Ford in September. Grassley’s Democratic counterpart on that committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), is also among the oldest members of Congress at 85.
