Grassley suggests absence of women on Judiciary due to committee's
heavy workload

Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) told reporters that the
Senate Judiciary Committee's inability to attract Republican
women might be caused by its heavy workload, a remark the
panel's chairman tried to retract a few minutes later. "It's a
lot of work -- maybe they don't want to do it," Grassley told
the Wall Street Journal, NBC News and other outlets, as he
headed toward the Senate floor for a speech by Sen. Susan
Collins (R-Maine). The committee, which has turned into a
partisan hotbed in the past five years, has never had a
Republican woman serve on it, even as the Senate's ranks have
doubled from three to six female GOP senators in recent years.
