I like your rant. It’s how many of us feel.
Sen Graham is a full-bird Colonel in the USAF JAG Reserve. I once worked with a Major who had been stationed with him back in ‘89 or so. Even then, my friend told me, you could see that he was “a player”. I am glad to hear that he, at least, with his prosecutorial background, is holding firm here. Its entirely possible that - given McCain’s aura - Graham followed his lead in the Senate, and that indeed he is now “freed” in a psychological sense to imprint upon another “big dog” (POTUSDJT).
Or maybe its just wishful thinking and he will go wobbly tomorrow. But I think that he is dead-on evaluating what will happen to the GOP in November if they fail to confirm Kavanaugh.
