nothing like an election to concentrate the mind huh?
Graham knows he's in a close one/ the SCOTUS hearing give him a chance to cement SCarolina base

"They said they tried to destroy Brett Kavanaugh so they could fill the seat -- they were dumb enough to say that," Graham added. "I've seen this movie before. It's not going to work, it didn't work with Kavanaugh.
"We've got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg's replacement before the election. We're going to move forward in the committee, we're going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election. Now, that's the constitutional process."
After Kavanaugh, everything changed with me," Graham told Hannity Monday. "They are not going to intimidate me, [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell, or anybody else."
"We’ve got the votes to confirm the judge, the justice on the floor of the Senate before the election," he asserted, " and that's what's coming."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

And the Dems swear they will increase the number of justices if they take the Senate.

Graham is now the poster boy for shameless hypocrisy.
Let's praise him.

It’s exactly this simple: Republicans have the political power—so exercise it. Democrats are going to scream and howl no matter what they do.
So, skip the hearings. Allow Senators to submit written advisements—then hold the vote.
Democrats will scream bloody murder but they are going to no matter what. Just do it.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
If the vicious and unfounded, lie based, hate filled, partisan attacks intended to destroy Kavanaugh and his wife and children did not change EVERYONE's view of the nomination process, it's tough to understand.
After that disgusting display of hate and dishonesty, there is obviously no reason to afford the lying, hate filled butt holes in the Democrat-Socialist party ANY grace whatever.
If they are not lying, they are fire bombing churches, assaulting fellow citizens, intimidating political opponents, silencing debate or re-writing history.
The problems they pose are far greater than the promise of Utopia contained in the lies they tell.
In passing, if you are worried about the over worked police finding everyone in your burned down house dead when they finally arrive to fill out the report, you can still buy pretty good guns.
That is a hypothetical, what if/perhaps/I am totally guessing what might happen 24 months from now leap of logic.
What we are actually witnessing in real time is a Republican Party who said in 2016 we should wait for the election when a Scotus judge died ten months before an election, to now when they are keen to replace a Scotus judge who died 50 days before an election

Lindsey hasn’t been paying attention to South Carolina, that’s his biggest problem. He’s been paying so much attention to kissing Trump’s ample behind that he has neglected his duty to his state. South Carolinians are tired of his DC focus. Harrison is giving him a tight race.

Honestly, that's a lame rationale for completely changing a position he ASKED all of us to challenge him on in 2016.
"You were mean to Kav...I don't owe you nuthin'!"
Politician hypocrisy is nothing new, but this is kind of a new level. It shouldn't be excused. Just own it.
