The RATS will filibuster again. The Republicans will use the Constitutional Option, and it will work. At least 2 of the 14 deal-makers will vote for cloture. And I predict one of them will be Graham. Not out of any high morality or good sense, but this deal backs him into a corner and the folks back home are majority conservatives.
I believe you have nailed it.
Graham said this is what he and DeWine would do yesterday on Tony Snow show.
"The RATS will filibuster again. The Republicans will use the Constitutional Option, and it will work. At least 2 of the 14 deal-makers will vote for cloture. And I predict one of them will be Graham. Not out of any high morality or good sense, but this deal backs him into a corner and the folks back home are majority conservatives."
Didn't some of the Democrats say yesterday they would filibuster the nomination of Henry Saad and another nominee? Can you believe Graham said he would not invoke the Constitutional Option?!!
Once when former La. Gov. Edwin Edwards was debating an opponent, the opponent said, "The Governor talks out of both sides of his mouth." Edwards said, "Well, I have to talk out of both sides for my opponent to understand me because he has wind whistling between his ears." I think Graham has both these problems if he thinks we will not remember what he has done!
