Reporting from Washington -- A key Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Wednesday that he would vote to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, potentially clearing the way for several other Republicans to support the New York federal appeals judge.

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a speech on the Senate floor that although he believed Sotomayor's record was "left of center," she was not "someone who under the robe is an 'activist.' "

is why, as a conservative, I will NEVER support the gop.

I know, I know: "never say never" ... but I feel hyperbole is better than profanity to get the point across.

Sen. Lindsey Graham shares Sotomayors feelings that people dont have a right to self defense.

When you S.C ers see him- punch him in the mouth.

It can’t be an issue to him,

Lindsey, you are soon going to need to update your resume and don’t forget to include your most recent job; former senior senator from SC. And your reason for leaving; acute rino-itis, with underlying msm envy.

I’m starting to think that it’s time for a conservative party with a certain soon-to-be ex governor as it’s standard bearer. That, or somehow take back the GOP from the RINOs.

Oh.

He is philosophically with Barney Frank?

I did not know.

Like Arlen, his only reason for being in the GOP is electability then.

It would be nice, but the idiots just reelected him. He’s got five and a half years to do what he wants without worrying about the electorate.

A key Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee ????????????????

Lindsey is on line with the two moonbats from Maine. He talks tough and folds like a lawn chair every time. He is so weak my 74 year old mother could kick his ass and have a better voting record. Key member my butt!
