Senators and congressmen cannot be recalled. This has been litigated both in federal court (Idaho, 1967) and state court (New Jersey, 2013).

Good grief, Graham knows how to add insult to injury. Sticks his finger in the eye of Republicans every chance he gets.

Senate Panel Approves Holder Nomination For AG

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he supports Holder’s view that the country needs to interrogate terrorism suspects based on American values.

“I am confident this new attorney general will have a balanced approach and I look forward to working with him. I know he’s made mistakes and so have I,” Graham said.

USC to get new business building
Funds will come from leasing current building to Department of Justice

An estimated 250 Justice Department employees working in different locations near Washington, D.C., will be relocated to Columbia over an unspecified period.

Graham said U.S. taxpayers will save $42 million by having Justice Department employees working in South Carolina, which has lower costs than Washington.

“It was almost too good to be true,” Graham said of the plan.” But it proved to be true.”

Graham, a Republican, praised U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, both of whom were appointed by President Obama, a Democrat.

“I can’t thank Eric Holder and David Ogden enough,” Graham said, adding they offered their support for a leasing plan that was initiated during the administration of George W. Bush.

The national consensus is that Barry has done more than enough damage already and no nominee should be confirmed until there’s a new President in office.

Graham could not even wait until Lord Obama summons him and demands his obedience. Graham just had to immediately declare his subservience. I guess this spares Obama the indignity of having to watch Graham kneel and drool before him like a dog.

#3 No this time for McCrazy. He’s in a primary fight for his Senate seat.

If he opens his mouth in support of Grahams comments he’ll be toast

Amazing how quickly he defects to the other side to nominate not only a leftist but a corrupt criminal.

Graham is hellbent upon destroying freedom and specifically conservatives in this country. This time he may just have the means to do it.
