Graham gets combative with Jackson: 'What faith are you, by the way?'
The hill ^ | 03/22/2022 | Alexander Bolton

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday grew increasingly combative in his line of questioning of Ketanji Brown Jackson, asking President Biden's Supreme Court nominee about her religious faith, her defense of Guantánamo Bay prisoners and whether she was aware of what he said were left-wing attacks on his preferred nominee to the court.

Graham has been seen as a swing GOP vote on Jackson given his support for previous Democratic judicial nominees, but he has signaled he is likely to vote "no" on this nomination.

“..Linda needs to calm down ..”

No, not in this hearing. Jackson in the most left wing black woman Biden could find. The mere fact that she is his first choice should disqualify her for the high court.

Exposing the hypocrisy of the LEFT fools sitting across from him? I’m all for what he’s doing here.

Make it about religion instead of soft on pedo crime. Thanks Lindsay.

Religious test for political office. Yeah. Excellent idea. That will help our side look good.

Just more Kabuki theater. She could say her religion is ‘Satanic Communism’, and in the end Miss Lindsey would vote to confirm.

It was inevitable that the focus would be shifted from Jackson to Graham.

It’s good political show which will be swallowed up by many its designed to district from Senator Graham’s ultimate loyalty to the RINO agenda.

Drink your Kool Aid Conservatives as America goes down the drain.

That’s exactly what they did to Kavanaugh. That’s why Graham is doing this. Either Democrats let it slide, or they object and admit that it was wrong when they did it to Kavanaugh.

I’m no Lindsey Graham fan however, just asking a person’s faith is somehow combative?

I’m no Kavanaugh fan either but this doesn’t make a pimple on an elephants ass compared to what the idiot democrats did to him.

Graham acts tough but he will vote for her. That’s the problem with Graham.

“Graham has been seen as a swing GOP vote on Jackson given his support for previous Democratic judicial nominees, but he has signaled he is likely to vote “no” on this nomination.”

_______________________________________________

If Graham (D with R by his name) votes no, it will ONLY be is he is positive his vote won’t effect her confirmation.

But, the insane keep voting for the lesser-of-two evils and so we keep on ending up with a D in an R seat.

He’s just giving it back to them.

Isn’t this what Dems do all the time? If you say you’re part of a church you must be “mixing church and state”?
