lindsay Graham should be voted out of office under exceptional circumstances.
Both judges Bork and Pickering scheduled for later in the show...
Graham clearly loves riding polls. Every time he makes up an excuse for his pathetic sellout, he mentions "40% of Republicans feel blah, blah, blah".
When has Bush ever mentioned a poll in terms of a reason for coming to his decisions?
Just heard the quisling and it's more of the same from this loser. Spent all his time trying to make sense of his "deal".
You can get Hannity on XM Radio channel 124 now.
Ping. Hope to hear this tonight, if my tin foil hat isn't on too tight.
"...and at this point all judges will get a vote."
ALL Judges? Saad included? Or just the three in the Munich Pact?
Frist up now. Says he's "not very satisfied".
Or, in other words, the clause “nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist” means that if Democrat signatories filibuster when Lindsey Graham and Mike DeWine (et al.) think the circumstances are not extraordinary, then they have their “out” clause.
They can can rightly say that the nominees should not have been filibustered because the circumstances were not extraordinary. Thus, the GOPers would be released from their commitment to vote against the nuclear option.
That reading is more plausible to me than the alternative reading that Graham and DeWine were majorly duped. Now it is up to them to hold the Democrats’ feet to the fire. Are they up to it? Graham surely is, and DeWine is mouthing the right words. That makes 48 GOP non-signers + 2 who will hold Dems to the agreement = 50. In theory, it looks good.
As I said there, I don't know about you, but I'm not taking kindly to the fate of the judiciary resting on the cojones of Senator Graham.
I guess Lindsey Graham missed the fact that the Rats on the other side of this have just set themselves up as the most powerful people in the world.
Every other Rat in the world will have to come crawling to them to get their vote for a filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee.
I am so disappointed in you caving in to the democrats and not standing with the President you were elected to support. I have many friends who now call you a RINO - Republican In Name Only. We have a true statesman for a Governor. He looks out for the best interest of the people no matter what the cost, and the people of SC see him for the statesman he is. He also had the courage of his convictions when he represented the 1st district of SC. I had hope you would measure up to his stature, but alas you chose to be popular with the NY Times and the Washington Post.
I had strongly supported you against Alex Sanders. I could never vote for someone like him, and now I cannot cast any future votes for you. Please know that my donations, even though they are small, to the RNC will now cease. I will only donate to the individual candidates that stand by their convictions.
If Ronald Reagan had chosen the easy way, there would still be a Soviet Union and Berlin Wall. If George W. Bush had 'compromised' Saddam Hussein would still be killing his own countrymen, and Islamic terrorists would have struck again because they know weakness can be exploited.
There is a saying that the minority is protected from the 'tyranny of the majority.' Well you have failed in protecting the majority from the 'tyranny of the minority'. You may think you have done a good thing. Tell me when was the last time you have known liberals to be trusted? Not anytime on this planet.
Goodbye my former Senator.
