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.

Which is one reason among many (three-minute-long convoluted questions to his guests, interrupting his guests, in love with his own voice, etc. etc. and so forth) that I don't watch Sean's program any more except when he has on a segment or a guest that is of exceptional interest to me.
Hannity really seems to have some kind of weird infatuation with Graham.

tucker reported this weeks ago linda signed off on 33 biden judges right before tucker he handed it off to Hannity. The look on Hannity’s face was priceless being a best friend of Linda
Tucker Carlson is the reason to watch FOX, not Sean.
Do I hear an Amen? Hell yeah! Tucker rocks. I don’t miss his show, ever.
#21 One could guess that SH has stayed Too long at The Fair, and now must protect one of his sources. It’s a short slide into a shallow swamp for many people we think we know.
They are definitely dependent on each other, each for their own interests...but it's certainly not in the interests of Hannity's viewers who have to listen to the oily Linseed on Sean's show virtually every week night.
