Am I wrong here or wouldn’t it be much better for Graham to get that SCOTUS hearing scheduled for close to right away?

That wishy washy October 12th date makes any procedural or other delay by the Dems (or riot or bomb threat making it impossible to get into the hearing room for instance) much too close to the election. Then the Dems could be victorious over the nominee getting confirmed in time. And the Romney and Murkowski types could have an out.

No you’re not wrong. Linda doesn’t seem to realize he has angered his base by waiting until the twelfth. It is this soft ball foot dragging that has him in trouble. The rats would have the vote done by the end of this week. He just seems clueless.

If I'm ACB and I've just been nominated for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, I'd hope to have at least a week or two to prepare for my Senate confirmation hearing.

I'm surprised to see how many Freepers are so clueless about this.
