Graham says if GOP were in charge, Jackson wouldn't have been nominee

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) indicated on Monday that Senate Republicans wouldn’t have accepted Ketanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court pick if they controlled the Senate and sent a warning shot about how Republicans will treat any Supreme Court nominees in 2023 or 2024.

“If we get back the Senate and we’re in charge of this body and there is judicial openings, we will talk to our colleagues on the other side. But if we were in charge, she would not have been before this committee. You would have had somebody more moderate than this,” Graham said during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting.

Graham’s comments come as he’s set to vote “no” on Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination — the first time he’ll oppose a Supreme Court pick since joining the Senate.

Republicans previously refused to move Merrick Garland’s 2016 Supreme Court nomination, arguing that it was in line with how Supreme Court nominees had been treated in a presidential election year when the White House and the Senate were controlled by different parties. If Republicans had kept control of the Senate after the 2020 election, that would give them the ability to similarly have refused to take up whoever President Biden nominated to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer.

Most people polled support Judge Jackson you whiney little Trump fluffer.

[Lovie777]

1. We know . ...

your hatred of Judge Jackson is showing.

[WhiteTara]

11. his racism and sexism is showing

[Bettie]

2. Well, since we know they were against even a moderate nominee

we know that we need to ensure we keep the Senate.

Last thing we need is them in charge of anything. I wouldn't leave a gaggle of Republicans in charge of a hamster for a weekend.

[Emile]

3. Wow, color me surprised!

[DanieRains]

4. Lindsey Is 100% Right

Republicans would nominate another rapist, or religious nut job. Or worse...

[grumpyduck]

6. You beat me to it. nt

[ornotna]

5. 'whiney little Trump fluffer'

You're too kind. He's all about the money shot.

[Clash City Rocker]

7. No, it would have been an unqualified white man who loves beer

Why even say it? Everyone knows what kind of clowns his party puts on the court.

[Blues Heron]

8. we remember- they would not let us have any nominee at all when they had the senate..

they blocked our pick. He is full of it. They will do that again.

[SoonerPride]

9. Because there would be NO NOMINEE while Biden is in office

Moscow Mitch wouldn't care if the seat sat empty for 4 years.

There would be no votes on any Biden nominee if Rs held the Senate.

[Joinfortmill]

10. Lucky for the U.S.A. GOP is not in charge.

[piddyprints]

12. We've seen

what the GQP nominates. So who is surprised that Jackson doesn't tick their boxes?

[CrackityJones75]

13. But the fucking woman pushing for the Handmaids Tale reality is fine???

I just don’t give a fuck what these people say anymore. I have more respect for a truck-stop commode than I do for these fucking idiots.

[FoxNewsSucks]

14. It's just a matter of time,

thanks to Manchin & Sinema for blocking voting legislation. Without them, republicons would not be able to cheat and steal their way back to power. Permanent power this time.

THis is what we have too look forward to.

[Hugin]

15. No, apparently Billy Boozer or Judge Pirro would've been the nominee.

But, we wouldn't have heard about it in the gulag.

[Peacetrain]

16. Well duh sh*t for brains... Presidents nominate Supreme Court Justices.. not senators

who cannot figure out who he wants to be week to week..

[MagickMuffin]

17. White Supremacist Lindsey Graham says what

Of course your party would NEVER even consider a black woman to serve on the highest court in the land. Y'all prefer easily manipulated ones like the ones you pushed through during an election year.


Bugger off Lindsey.

[sanatanadharma]

18. If Lindsey was in charge, or perhaps true of the entire GOP...

If Lindsey was in charge, or perhaps true of the entire GOP, Trump would be the Ayatollah of the new CFNM, Confederate Federation of New Magastan, and according to prophecy, we will all be eating off well-licked gold plates made from recycled golden-thrones, also well licked.

[Iggo]

19. Yeah. We know.

[Sneederbunk]

20. If I were in charge, Lindsey would be in Gitmo.

[kimbutgar]

21. I just wish someone would expose Lindsey for the cretin he is!

I wonder what the TFG had on him to get his compliance?

[Emile]

22. His opinion is worthless!

[turbinetree]

23. No SHIT SHERLOCK.....moderate......you have a fucking drunk on the bench and you

have someone married to someone that wants to over throw a duly elected government who was accused just like beer drinker, kind of have your priorities and principles kind a twisted like your brain.........you should resign.....and to think you use to be a JAG.....what kind of JAG........that's the question......

[Mad_Machine76]

24. Good thing

[Hekate]

25. Of course not, Lindsey. You've got another Handmaid waiting in the wings. nt
