BREAKING: Lindsey Graham gives his support to President Trump's efforts to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court
Lindsey Graham's Twitter Account ^ | 9/18/20 | Lindsey Graham

Posted on 09/19/2020 11:35:32 AM PDT by Yossarian

Here is the Twitter feed last updated 11 minutes ago from Senator Lindsey Graham:



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

The two biggest changes regarding the Senate and judicial confirmations that have occurred in the last decade have come from Democrats.

#1



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

* Harry Reid changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees dealing out the minority.

* Chuck Schumer and his friends in the liberal media conspired to destroy the life of Brett Kavanaugh and hold that Supreme Court seat open.

#2



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

In light of these two events, I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg.

#3



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

I know Jaime Harrison -- who opposed the Kavanaugh nomination and joined the mob in the destruction of this fine man -- will oppose ANY Trump nominee.

I hope the people of South Carolina know that as well.

#4



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC
Replying to @LindseyGrahamSC

Jaime Harrison will be a loyal foot soldier in the cause of the radical liberals to destroy America as we know it.

As to me – I will be part of the Resistance and oppose their radical liberal agenda as they try to fundamentally change America.

Simple solution; failure to provide voice support of the President will result in long neglected public shunning. Failure to actually vote the party line and at the least, they’ll find themselves removed from every Christmas card list in town. Bottom line; F’m and the horse they rode to Washington.

The first supreme court had 6 members.

IMHO, we need a constitutional amendment going back to the original six.

Having only six Justices requires a 2/3 majority for the Court to do anything. If they cannot reach that level of consensus on an issue then it should go back to the courts of appeal until they can.

Agreed. I’m not a brinkmanship kind of person, but in this case, there is no in between. Do the right thing, which is nominate and confirm or this will haunt you for your entire career until you can be hounded out of office.

The electoral opinions and results in this state can be all over the place. What gives me hope is while democrats and greens outnumber republicans by a wide margin, it’s still possible to elect a conservative like Paul LePage Governor, and I think without the access Hollywood scandal Trump carries Maine in 2016.

Good thing Graham is up for reelection this time around.

Or else he might have weaseled.

Trump will get his 50.

And this will be a Great thing for America.

Boy did that old, evil, slithering creature of hell die just in time.

I LOVE Scalia..he was a paesano and I was proud.

But he and rbg being great friends...that’s so hard to absorb.

I don’t mean to be a zealot but I could never be very close friends with an abortion advocate who had REAL power to effect an end to it or at least lessen it.

Oh well

Wow, when I just looked, it was still there. Don’t know if it’s still hacked or if the interwebs is playing along.

Hearings aren’t necessary.

Salmon P. Chase was nominated by A. Lincoln for CJ SCotUS December 6, 1864 and confirmed by the Senate December 6, 1864.

Confirmation vote by end of September!

“Hearings aren’t necessary. Salmon P. Chase was nominated by A. Lincoln for CJ SCotUS December 6, 1864 and confirmed by the Senate December 6, 1864.”

I hope people have spammed PDJT’s Twitter with this information. Hearings only exist for the RATs to attack and showboat, anyhow.

Note to PDJT, McConnell, and Miss Lindsey: Just. Do. It!

Didn't realize that. Thanks. 9 justices has been the number since 1869....151 years.

55 Men and the Constitution by Rodell tells us that they had a problem with the USSC in that there was no check. Perhaps the odd number has been an attempt to instill a check.

And tell Roberts that the Court is indeed a Political entity. And while the life term was supposed to keep influences away...it hasn't worked.

I'm calling Agent Provocateur on this one. By the same type of leftists who hang nooses on their own doors to stir trouble.

The body's not even cold yet, and attaching Trump's name to this comes across as callous & insensitive. If it starts making the rounds on social media, that'll be confirmation that it was planted/hacked by a radical leftist group to make President Trump look bad, particularly to independents so close to an election.

The base will be demoralized and stay home

That goes along with a prediction I made a couple of years ago and stand by today:

"After the 2020 elections, either the national Republican or Democratic party will be damaged beyond repair."

"Beyond repair" means votes cast in the national 2022 mid-terms (Congress) and 2024 elections (Presidential and Congress) will be smaller than they were in 2020 and 2018, respectively"

Who cares? She supported the murder of unborn children, and was so consumed with power she didn’t step aside under the Muslim usurper, just so she could inflict her satanic hate on the world a little longer.

“Why does the appointment have to be a woman? I’d prefer otherwise.”

And signers of the Declaration of Independence and writers of the Constitution would have preferred to end slavery, but like us, they have to live in the real world of politics, not utopia. At least Republicans have women who can think.

It’s imperative that the nomination (coming this week) be moved through the Senate as quickly as possible, to confirmation. Much as I hate to say this, we may end up losing the Senate. If that happens, the door will be slammed shut for at least two years and we’ll be stuck with a possible 4-4 Court. I’m assuming of course that the president wins reelection.
