Be sure to join us at 10 00, 9 00 central. Stacey and now a kcci exclusive moments after his white house , meeting on the Supreme Court vacancy, senator Charles Grassley sat down with steve karlin. Todd grassley described the meeting as very cordial. Steve karlin joins us live from outside the u. S. Supreme court building. Steve the republicans and democrats who met today at the white house were doing a dance of politicians sometimes do, when opinion polls show the public is pretty much split on an issue. They meet, they talk, pictures are taken, and nothing changes. Grexit was on a meeting where we were trying to change peoples minds. Steve it was a 40 minute long white house meeting where heavyweights from both Political Parties wanted to make their position very clear. You expect the president to put up nominees. Steve the president will do his constitutional duty, and so will the senate. It will provide advice and consent, but no hearings or a vote for esther obamas mr. Obamas nominee. 1992 fighting role. Joe biden role. Action must be put off until the Election Campaign is over. That left some obama supporters to say the president could make a recess appointing, adding a just is to fill in until the end of the next session of the. Senate. Grassley says, not so fast. Greg there will not be a recess appointment because the senate is not recess. Steve that is right, and the then Democratic Senate did this to themselves than 2007, when they wanted to stop george w. Bush from making recess appointment. We are going to make sure we are in session every day between now and january the 20th, even steve january 20, 2017, that is the day the next president is sworn in. Grassley says the voters will have been had to say, and their new president can espied decide on the next Supreme Court nominee. This is about a process. We think it is the right thing to do, the historical thing to do, and the reasonable thing to do. Steve coming up at 10 00, when our exclusive conversation continues with senator grassley, dc, we talked to him since its , super tuesday, about the possibility that donald trump could win the republican president ial nomination, and we also at ask about the president s impacts on the party. Replace grassley the senate say the senator is flat out wrong. Joins us with the democratic response. Marcus todd and stacey both candidates say Election Year , two democrats seeking to replace iowas long serving us senator in washington are both pretty clear when it comes to grassleys refusal to consider a president obama Supreme Court nominee. He is absolutely wrong. The second worst part is he is absolutely wrong as chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. The president has a constitutional duty to nomine the senate has the constutional , duty to consider and act on that nominee. Marcus hogg says there is no president to grassleys stance and the senator is the only , thing standing in the way of a full compliment of justices on the Supreme Court bench by the start of the next session this fall. I have looked back to every justice who has died since 1910, and the longest period of time to fill that position has been 6 months, and 12 days and that was , in 1910. Marcus krause says it is time to put partisian politics aside and for grassley to be the , states man he was in the 80s and 90s. To play games with how we are going to arbitrate our laws americans in the credibility of our government. Marcus hogg stress this is not to gain a political edge in the upcoming election it is , about doing what is right for the people you serve, i sir. Sir. I understand there are going to be political ramifications to everything that happens. Marcus both say it is disappointing there does not appear to have been any progress made in the meeting between president obama and senator grassley. Todd the fate of troy mure is now in the hands of a judge. Mure is facing 15 years in prison if convicted of vehicular homicide after a crash last mure november. Walked away from the wreck, but the passenger in a car scalicity perez, was killed. , mure was driving almost 90 miles an hour when he lost control of the car on 35th street near ingersoll. He claims he was being chased by another car and someone inside , had flashed a gun. Did you feel you had any other options other than to drive fast down that street . From the cadillac, or at least make it to Price Chopper where i knew there would be a cop sitting out there all the time. Todd both sides are done calling witnesses so the , attorneys will send their closing summaries to the judge who will then rule on the case. Stacey the prosecution rests its case. Today Alexander Fazzinos defense started presenting its case in his first degree murder trial. Several of fazzinos family members took the stand. Both his aunt and sister testified they wanted to perform an intervention for emily fazzino. They believed she was abusing prescription drugs.

Maybe they put 40,000 into redoing their car and then all of sudden they have to drill holes in the bumper, and now it is not authentic. Tim girl representative josh brynes, who introduced the bill, believes have one plate instead of two wont make a big difference. Willis auto campuss general manager says a lot of customers only want a rear plate. Youre drilling right into the front of the bumper and that works for the customers in iowa but if they move to the state , that doesnt have front license plate, you are not doing you are now doing body work on the front of the car to kim and selling plates cost about but, if youre caught 200.

Those people that are in that hobby side of the world when it comes to this, theyre not robbing banks, and theyre not having amber alert issued because of them. Kim we posted a now poll earlier today asking if front license plates should be required. Here are nonscientific results 36 say yes, and 64 say no, they should not be required.
