Senator Dianne Feinstein was absent from the Senate yesterday, so Senate Republicans had the votes to defeat the cloture motion on controversial Second Circuit nominee Myrna Perez, director of the left-wing Brennan Center for Justice. Had Republicans stuck together, they would have defeated the motion by a vote of 50 to 49.
Instead, Senators Lindsey Graham and Lisa Murkowski voted for cloture, giving Perez a 51-48 margin and paving the way for her confirmation.
I’m reliably informed that Graham has not voted against cloture or against final confirmation of a single Biden judicial nominee. Indeed, Graham’s vote in committee yesterday against Ninth Circuit nominee Jennifer Sung was his first vote in committee against any Biden judicial nominee. (Sung had signed a letter in 2018 slamming then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as an “intellectually and morally bankrupt ideologue.”) Here again, because of Feinstein’s absence, Committee Republicans could have prevented Sung’s nomination from being reported to the Senate floor if they had all voted against her. But Senator John Cornyn, as an apparent favor to Feinstein, refrained from voting.

...and judicial tyranny continues on.
.......”with friends like that, who needs enemies....?”
the older I get, the more I despise both republicans and democrats...remember that old expression....
“The democrat party is the evil party and the republican party is the stupid party....”
A 47 year old communist. She might be on the bench for 40 years. Good old GOP reaching across the aisle again.
Lindsey is Hannity’s favorite guest, and Sean never broaches the subject. Disgraceful.
Lindsey is Hannity’s favorite guest.....
We know Lindsey has some non-normal ‘proclivities’, and Hannity did just divorce.
Things that make you go “Hmmmmmm”.
Juan is no longer available, soooo....*cough*
... opposed voter ID laws

... opposed prohibitions on ballot harvesting
... advocated for felons being able to vote
.....She's a "radical activist"......
Where’s that little FRaggot who’s always insisting that Freepers are too harsh on Linda?
Just another indication that the GOP is stage 4 and terminal...
SWAMPERS!!!!!
Be that as it may, Lindsey []Linda] Graham is still South Carolina’s Favorite Son. And is adored, worshiped, and praised by the voters there. Along with being re-elected by landslide majorities each time he runs for re-election. He is assured of being the Senator from South Carolina for as long as he wants.
We had a FR saying back during the impeachment wars of 98-99 about the Assistant Democrats Republicans:
"It's like taking candy from a STUPID baby."
LET’S GO LINDA
I’m regularly reminded at FR why I registered Independent after Jan 6th.
This is one of those days.
Thank goodness for the 17th Amendment. /s
Was Feinstein having her regular full transfusion exchange of blood with an 18 year old?
2018 article : Ambrosia founder Jesse Karmazin: “The data looks really great. It makes people younger, I think it’s a huge breakthrough.”
Graham is a POS. You can always count on him to come through for the Democrats.
