LINDSEY GRAHAM in GOP hot seat for speedy judicial nominees
The Hill ^ | 2/17/2023 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 02/18/2023 9:28:58 AM PST by AnthonySoprano

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said Republicans shouldn’t have let Democrats confirm so many Biden nominees to the federal courts when the Senate was evenly split during Biden’s first two years in office.

“The truth is the leadership squandered a 50-50 Senate. They could have at the committee level made a major push to vote together and to stop at least the circuit court nominees. Every single one of them would have required a discharge petition. We didn’t do that,” Hawley told The Hill.

“There was no concerted effort made whatsoever,” he added. “Say what you want about [Democratic Judiciary Committee Chairman] Dick Durbin [D-Ill.] but he has not taken his eye off the ball. He’s had help from Republicans.”

As I recall, he once said that Biden is one of the finest people he’s ever met (I guess he doesn’t know many people) Why wouldn’t you help someone you hold in such high regard?

I can’t stand Hannity anyway. He loves the sound of his own voice.

These are the things his staff has actually been working on.


His staff goes from working for him to the DOJ.


Rinse and repeat

Yeah it’s becoming painfully obvious that senator should never be allowed to run for president Nor should anybody in congress because they have the old boys looking after them in the senate

Lindsey Graham is working for Fox.
Biden and the Democrats are the beneficiaries.

Linda’s good for 4 more years. He runs again in ‘26. Do you really think the freepers can run him out of office? Think again.

When the Senate gets a majority Republicans, he must go.

Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Nikki Haley.

South Carolina sure knows how to elevate RINOs in the 21st century.

There’s no proof “freepers” can run anyone out of office.

He’ll make sure that never happens. He will defend his fiefdom as minority leader regardless of the cost. But Trump might just have long coat tails, which is why he’s really opposed to him.

Linda has never seen a war or a RAT nominee he did not like.

Follow the money, Graham must be being paid a lot of money for his support for these liberal appointees.
