a truly amazing speech ... also Graham pretty much indicates he'll replace Grassley as chair of the judicial committee starting next term ...

Before we get all giddy with thinking this is a new Lindsay Graham, remember that his number one priority is still amnesty for illegal aliens.

I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I am almost starting to like Lindsey. He is coming around in a very unexpected way. This is his shining moment. Maybe he just needed McCain to die to unleash him.

Love seeing all the raging tweets about this.

Liberals are going insane because they think this will mean the end of Roe v Wade.

Or maybe he is starting to realize the msm does speak for the majority of Americans.

...and I'm told I should shut up, but I will not shut up...

Straight out of the Dems playbook. Good for Linda (still don't trust him much), using the Dems own strategy....

Eh, maybe we can work on him. Just maybe THAT went to the grave with no name, too.

Vote for Amnesty Senators, get amnesty for illegal aliens and lose our country.

There is no other issue that is more important than the rule of law and the sovereignty of the citizens.

The funny thing is that if Roe ended, it would have little impact. It only says states CAN’T outlaw abortion. It doesn’t mean abortion is going to become illegal any time soon in NY, Calivornia, et-al any time soon, if ever.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it WON”T be the end of the world, or the end of abortion. I think what would happen is that STATES, then made laws to regulate abortion, some states will approve abortion and some will put strict state laws upon it. Just like it was supposed to be. Anything NOT mentioned IN the Constitution was to be decided in State Assembly halls. So for those who want abortion, will just have to move to New York or California.

After what they’ve pulled it just may happen.

Has he finally come out of McCain’s mind meld on him?

Doesn't make it any less true. He's a major tool for those pushing amnesty.

On the issue of Kavenaugh's nomination, he's absolutely correct and has been a forceful proponent. It doesn't hurt to keep in mind how he stands on other issues near and dear to our hearts though.

Until he publicly switches sides from illegal aliens and their employers to the citizens and the rule of law, I will not consider him to be on our side.

Point well taken.

However, let’s I think we should give Senator Graham all the kudos we can, as he may well have turned the tide in a number of areas, not the least of which is the other Republicans may follow suit and realize it’s okay to stand up for what you believe in and what’s right.

Senator Graham may well see other issues like amnesty in a different light as well. We’ll see.

The vid link, at the tweet linked, cuts Sen Graham off, midway, for this ‘speech for the ages’.

Does anyone happen to have a link to the entire speech?

TIA.
