(Copied from Raw Story)
Less than one year after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the DC appeals court, he voted against her confirmation to the United States Supreme Court.
But it was how Graham voted against Jackson that is drawing attention.
The GOP senator did not even bother going to the Senate floor to vote against her nomination, CNN's John Harward reported, based on work by his colleagues Ali Zaslav and Ted Barrett.
"Lindsey Graham didn't wear a tie for the occasion of Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to become the 1st black woman on the Supreme Court," Hardwood reported. "That meant he wasn't allowed on the Senate floor and voted 'no' from the cloakroom."
Geez. Such a great way to be disrespectful, Lindsey.

(15,084 posts)Just an asshole with an "R" beside his name. Looking at the crop of Republicans in Congress, it seems that is the only requirement for office.

(14,572 posts)a gutless worm, a windsock who carefully gauges the way the polictical wind is blowing and then slithers along with the right-wing crazy pack.
I'd say he should hang his head in shame, but he has none.
I'd say he is an 'elder statesman' of the Senate, but people would split their sides laughing.
I'd say he stands on principle, but he has none. Honestly, I don't think Lindsey Graham stands for anything but what the powers that be tell him to stand for.
Disgusting man.
