Lindsey Graham: Senate Judiciary Committee will approve Barrett on October 22

New York Post ^ | September 27, 2020 | Mark Moore

There's no point in lengthy hearings if enough Senators have decided to confirm and if Democrats have decided to vote against Barrett.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Why the hell is Linda waiting until October 12? That's 12 wasted days in October plus several days in September. He should roll up his sleeves and "git er done" starting this week.

Is Linda Graham a McClellan or a Patton? Hmmm. Discuss among yourselves …
 

[Alberta's Child]

It wouldn’t be fair to the nominee to face a committee hearing without any preparation time.

[Bayard]

Nov 3rd makes it a question that she can preside on cases brought to the court in a timely fashion?

Perhaps on whether the she can give imput as a sitting judge on the SCOTUS in any way?

[SteelPSUGOP]

Some Dems on the committee have said they won’t even meet with ACB, why wait till the 12th??

[Misplaced Texan]

They should be voting on the 12th, not starting a hearing.

[Paladin2]

“..we’ll hold it over for a week...”

WTF?

To who’s benefit?

[TexasGurl24]

Personally, I would rather skip the hearings and vote. That being said, the dynamics here are a little different than Kavanaugh.

The GOP had a 51-49 majority in 2018. In addition to Collins and MooCowSki, Flake was also there showboating.

Today, it’s a 53-47 Majority.

The GOP can lose 3 and still win.

Collins and MooCowSki were always going to flake out. Romney still might, but it becomes much harder to find the 4th.

Gardner, Grassley, Tillis, Alexander and Capito are probably who the media would try to flip.

Gardner, Tillis and Capito are all up for re-election and any one of them will lose if they vote “no.” I think they know it too.

That leaves Alexander and Grassley and both are very close to McConnell and I think he has them locked up.

[Equine1952]

Lady Lindsey is a pussie. Where the other two land I’m not sure but I’d like to meet the man that called Patton a pussie to his face. No reason to wait “get it done”. IMHO

[Fledermaus]

He will screw it up. Why wait so long?

[eyeamok]

Pretty weak Linda, it should be October 2nd!

[gcparent]

Why does he need 10 days??? Why is he slowing it down.

And Im sick of Linda begging for money on FOX.

[MAAG]

Better late than never, besides it will be a good b-day for me.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I want this BASTARD to lose I am FED UP with him!!! Send money to John James instead!! SCREW GRAHAM!!

[sport]

The only reason in my opinion is to give the Democrats time to manufacture more lies about. Don't be surprised when Graham sabotages the confirmation. He will allow the Democrats time to drag out the process until the imagination is over. In Spite of what the voters of South Carolina believe, Graham is not a Conservative Nor does he favor Constitutional Government. Don't be surprised if the confirmation fails, Graham and the Democrats will do everything their power to prevent it. And Graham hates President Trump.

“Is Linda Graham a McClellan or a Patton? Hmmm.”

Definitely a McClellan.

[gcparent]

No reason for a vote on eve of election. Do it in 2 weeks. Linda is a fag.

[Bullish]

You don’t need a whole GD’ month Lyndsey, and you know it. You’re just guaranteeing she won’t get a vote before the election. I’m done ever giving you the benefit of any doubt, you liar.

[centurion316]

Unfortunately, all of the posters on this thread are not U.S. Senators, and the Senate decides how to execute the confirmation process. Graham has no choice but to do this. Democrats demand it, and quite a few Republican Senators want the same thing. These Republican Senators are not our friends, they don’t like Trump and they don’t like their constituents.

The existing rules of the Senate dictate this process, and Graham and McConnell don’t have the votes to change or waive the rules.

Hang in there. The last time the Democrats had a hissy fit over a Supreme Court Justice, we gained seats in the Senate.
