Lindsey shows yet again that he's a fucking hypocrite

[47of74]

I fucking hate this guy

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the Senate would work to confirm a Supreme Court nominee this year if a vacancy arises, saying the circumstances are different from 2016, when Republicans blocked then-President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland.

Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, noted that both the Senate and the White House are held by Republicans, versus in 2016, when the GOP-held Senate denied Garland a hearing.

"Well, Merrick Garland was a different situation. You had the president of one party nominating, and you had the Senate in the hands of the other party. A situation where you've got them both would be different. I don't want to speculate, but I think appointing judges is a high priority for me in 2020," Graham said in an interview on "Full Court Press with Greta Van Susteren" set to air Sunday.

"If you look into the history of the country, there had not been an occasion where somebody was confirmed in a presidential election year after primary started when you had divided government," he added.

Lindsey could be voted out in November if we all do our part.

[dem4decades]

26. That's my second choice.

[captain queeg]

2. Of course he does, it's always different for the repukes

[spanone]

3. Just shut the fuck up, linds.

4. Lyndsey's quickly edging out Mitch as the most despicable person in the Senate.

[Bluepinky]

5. His friend John McCain would be disgusted with him

if he was still alive today.

The hypocrisy and maneuvering of these Repubs is remarkable. I can’t watch the Sunday am shows, not good for my blood pressure.

21. John McCain was an alpha male, and little Lindsey LOVES him some alpha male...

He rode McCain's coattails as long as possible, literally till death.

Now he has a NEW alpha (Putin, who has some VERY incriminating video of Lindsey in knee pads, AND with his ass in the air - SOME PEOPLE SAY - NOT that there is anything wrong with wearing knee pads OR having your ass in the air it is the HYPOCRISY), and Putin's sock puppet, the turd.

The turd is a poor substitute for Pootie, but hey, you play with the cards you been dealt.

6. Even if all those conditions were ruled out, we'd still hear, 'Wait, my shoelace is untied! NO VOTE

[RAB910]

7. Republicans don't even try to hide their evil anymore

[Brainfodder]

8. Unfortunately every Republican in the U.S. congress is corrupt AF, until proven otherwise?

Working with that knowledge, I have no time to even read about anything except an obit?

10. A valid assumption.

Donate, write postcards, phone bank... all good uses of time.

9. I no longer accept Republican/"conservative" claims to honor

and integrity at face value. My assumption is that they don’t possess either trait, and to convince me otherwise would take a lot of hard work—lasting months and years.

I hadn’t thought much of Lindsey Graham since he was a congressman trying to impeach Bill Clinton for far lesser offenses than the current occupant of the White House has committed. My opinion of him hasn’t changed.

11. No surprise. Graham showed exactly what he is when he refused to stand up for his

suppossed friend John McCain

This is someone who should never be trusted

[struggle4progress]

13. Nobody is surprised

[kairos12]

14. When we win the Senate and the Presidency pack the court.

[Wounded Bear]

15. As always, IOKIYAR...

[Chainfire]

16. A few months ago, McConnell was asked

about filling a SC vacancy this year. He responded, "I would fill it."

The Republicans believe that they are immune to any negative reactions to such behavior. They are probably right......
They will be completely beyond the reach of justice as long as they hold the Senate and the Presidency.

We have to change that.

[SoonerPride]

18. We need to expand the court and pack it when we have the power to do so

I don’t care if they bitch and moan

Fuck them

[47of74]

19. We need to change the whole system

Make it so they can never pack the court again.

And get rid of lifetime tenure. There should be no lifetime jobs in the US government. There should be a time limit. Yeah that may bite us in the ass but I think lifetime appointments breed arrogance.

[SoonerPride]

17. I will be happy when he is dead

I will and I’m not sorry to say so

We can at least work to get Lindsey voted out before death comes a knockin'....

[miyazaki]

20. Uh, Greta Van Slush is back?

[ProfessorGAC]

25. How Convenient

It has nothing to do with an upcoming election, just party politics.
Why don't you just say that, Linzy-boy?

[haele]

27. They're still trying to push the narrative that Garland was a first...

That no other president had to appoint a Supreme Court Justice during his "lame duck" year and with a Senate of the opposite party in charge...

Ummmm, how is that any different than a president appointing a Supreme Court Justice during a re-election year with a Senate of the opposite party?
