2. Hey, Lindsey, does the name Merrick Garland ring any bells?

[tymorial]

6. Selective amnesia

Graham has no honor or integrity.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I cant, I mean I just fucking cant

[gratuitous]

4. It's like they're paying you back in your own coin, Lindsey

Don't you just hate it when you have to take what you formerly dished out?

[roamer65]

5. Just like you did with Merrick Garland, Lindsey you stupid fuck.

Go fuck yourself.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Just another day in Llittle Lindsey's

Attorney General Job interview.

Please do not forget what this sucker and his Pals,did to Bill Clinton and Obama. South Carolina is changing fast,and this Guy is on his way out.

[Raster]

12. oh yes, Lindsey Graham was one of the chief high inquisitors of Bill Clinton...

...and his dirty deeds boy on the legal side was Brett Kavanaugh*.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Noticed a major ethics and criminal investagation

happening around Little Lindsey. Seems he got his tight ass busted for taking illegal campaign funds from the Putin Mafia Bankers(Oligarchs),and tried to hide the facts.

This story has been around for two years,and as we know,the courts move at snails pace. So now we are getting a better picture as to why the Acting and Aggressive nature of Little Lindsey.

He knows Gamble Vs. US will keep him from a South Carolina Jail with Bubba and friends.

[Raster]

18. I also believe there is kompromat on Lindsey Graham...

...hence once his conscience died (McCain), his real smarmy self came out.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. There is more to come

on that one it appears. Wasn't Trump running a underground Data Operation in South Carolina? Like a Bot Troll Farm.

[RockRaven]

8. projection, always projection w/ the GOP; it's what THEY did do and would do again.

[maxsolomon]

9. It's unlikely the Dems would keep the seat open until 2021.

Because they respect their oath of office, unlike GOP Senators, and would provide Advise and Consent.

But a change to Dem control of the Senate would force a more moderate choice, one without Kavanaugh's partisan baggage.

Which is exactly how the Senate is supposed to function, you hypocrite.

[Alhena]

16. I wish we would, but I don't think Manchin et al would let us

[maxsolomon]

17. Merrick Garland would be a good compromise choice

when Kavanaugh goes down in flames (fingers crossed).

Trump won't, however, because Stigginit.

32. But a change to Dem control of the Senate would force a more moderate choice.

I know that Dems haven't had control of the senate when they've had a few SCOTUS seats to fill. BUT, IF Dems ever get control of the Senate, they should a justice up there whose unabashedly LIBERAL. I'm sick of Dems having to put someone on the Supreme Court who thuglicans approve of and like. Look at the Federalist, lying, drunken, could be sexual assaulting, witness tampering, scummy partisan HACK they're getting ready to put on the court in Kavanaugh, who plans to punish women, the poor, POC, Dems and those who are left-leaning. Kavanaugh the partisan, drunk hack is out for revenge. It's bad enough that Clarence Thomas, one of the most intellectually lazy, right-winged, self-hating, hack of a SCOTUS on the court. And the man's big, creepy, conflict of interest, right-winged to racist hack wife belongs to racist right-winged groups and she also associates WITH these groups. And stolen seat Gorsuch, if I remember the story correctly, wanted a man to freeze to death in the cab of his truck because that trucking company didn't like the fact that he actually had nerve to leave the company's "precious truck" in a bid to try to SAVE HIS GOT DAMN LIFE one freezing night when his rig malfunctioned or whatever happened to the company's "precious" rig

10. Hey Lindsay...I Wouldn't Mind

"Keep this seat open and hope they win the midterms"

[ooky]

11. And what else would you expect from LG other than

hypocrisy run amok, or any Republican? They know themselves what hypocrites they are and don't care. And they are going to keep on doing it as long as we have so many stupid, ignorant, apathetic Americans accepting it. Personal dishonesty is one of the problems at the core of our nation, people/voters accepting such obviously unfair behavior from their elected officials because of their political biases.

13. Lindsey van Winkle

From Politico, April 20, 2016 (pure coincidence, I take it, that this appeared on Hitler's birthday):

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) heaped praise for Merrick Garland after meeting privately with the Supreme Court nominee on Wednesday, but said he won’t change his mind on not moving his nomination this year.

"Graham, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said he told Garland that despite his credentials, the Senate won’t act on replacing deceased Justice Antonin Scalia until a new president is elected in November."

----------

Just replace "deceased Justice Antonin Scalia" with "retired Justice Anthony Kennedy" and "a new president" with "a new Congress," read it back to Graham, and see if the words sound familiar. The only difference is that no one will be heaping praise on Kavanaugh after his dreadful performance last Thursday. The longer he remains in the headlines, the bigger an embarrassment he becomes to the Republicans. I am getting the impression that at this point, they don't really care if he's confirmed or not, just as long as his name disappears from page one.

14. Merrill Garland

Now Fuck Off!

[sdfernando]

20. Irony....thy name is Lindsey. /NT

[GeorgeGist]

21. Now we know why some people call 'em ...

C R A C K E R S™

[Johonny]

22. All we want is an American government that works for the people and not a select few

Graham wouldn't understand that because he's never done a damn thing for anyone but himself.

[Rene]

23. They want Kav in place for the Nov calendar case about the Trump pardons

All these Repugs, even Lindsay, will be needing pardons

[issuesDemocrats]

24. Good one Lyin' Lindsey.

[treestar]

25. Perfect example of projection

Accuse others of doing what you do.

[nature-lover]

26. He would know all about being pathetic.

[Chickensoup]

27. What am idiot.

[JHB]

28. Lindsay's good pal, the late Sen. John McCain, had suggested keeping it open...

...for the entire 4 years of a Hillary Clinton first term.

On top of the non-hypothetical amount that they actually did keep it open by simply refusing to take any action.

Being called "pathetic" by Lindsay Graham is like an oil spill accusing you of being slippery, or a member of the 100-keg club scornfully accusing you of overdrinking.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. Or maybe

we just don't want somebody with Kavanaugh's behavior/predilections on the Supreme Court, especially since one other person accused of similar things was already able to slip onto the Court back in the 1990's and he's still there and making trash decisions for women and the entire country.

[Renew Deal]

30. Sounds like all Graham wants is a political outcome

Put someone on the court no matter who it is.

[CentralMass]

31. He's lost his conscience (McCain)

[Power 2 the People]

33. "All they want is a political outcome. Keep this seat open, hope they win midterms"

Next sentence.."Oh yeah,that was our devious plan and it worked like a charm."
