Lindsey Graham stands firm behind Amy Coney Barrett - but back home his bid for re-election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

is on shaky ground

As Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Thursday shepherded Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination onto the Senate floor for a momentous vote next week, voters back in his home state of South Carolina were casting ballots that’ll determine whether the Barrett nomination is his last act as their senator.

Here in balmy Charleston, the Palmetto State’s coastal metropolis of more than 400,000 residents, the three-term Republican senator’s recent moves on the Supreme Court have taken centre stage, another issue that has polarised voters in an increasingly competitive election.

Lamont Brown, 46, a longshoreman on the Charleston docks for 27 years, accused Mr Graham on Thursday of being a “flip-flopper” on everything from Ms Barrett’s nomination to his about-face embracing Donald Trump, whom the senator called “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” during the Republican presidential primaries in 2016.

“Lindsey Graham flip flops. You’ve gotta stick to your guns, man,” Mr Brown told The Independent outside the North Charleston Coliseum on Thursday, one of four early in-person voting locations in Charleston County that have frequently seen hours-long lines since polls opened on 5 October.

1. that would be lovely

but you're really talking about the earth moving here. And (IMO) -- Trump is dragging Lindsey down a lot more than the Barrett nomination. This last month has been a disaster -- for anybody that isn't a true cult member.

2. Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy

I hope that the voters remove him in a couple of weeks.
