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

"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."

This is the SCUM, that kisses trump's ass every chance he gets. Trump, who incited the January 6th insurrection, and tried to subvert an election.

He is a disgrace as a Senator.

The republican party is a subversive organization, whose base are what Hillary made very clear in 2016, a bunch of deplorlables

NEVER forget what the REPUKES did to Obama, and continue to do.

The Heritage Foundation would never have such a highly-qualified, intelligent individual on their list of acceptable candidates. Judge Jackson doesn't the mold, not being a crackpot moron corporate toady, like the other six assholes you and your shitbag party shoved down our throats.
