Lyndsay Graham, (someone I am not all that found of) actually makes some fine points about the politics surrounding the Kavanaugh hearing.



Picking a biased Judge? What did Hillary Clinton say?

Presidential immunity? What did Joe Biden say?

Comey's removal from office? What did Harry Reid, Jerrold Nadler (D. NY), and Steven Cohen (D. TN) say?

A good listen, for those who choose to listen.

I was able to watch that one live. I like Graham. Always have. I don't agree with him all the time, but I do more than not.

He hit it dead on, and the folks on the left that are intellectually honest know that, even if they aren't overtly honest enough to admit it.

Very interesting points and a good job pointing out several hypocrisies!

For one…..Kavanaugh also made a statement during the Clinton impeachment trials that he thought any indictment should wait until after he was out of office.

Hmmm. Dems didn’t have a problem with that at that time. Plus many more examples of when Democrats agreed with Kavanaugh when they were in office, but now he's wrong and bad for the nation.
 
Lindsey Graham lecturing anybody on hypocrisy is itself hypocrisy (as well as an exercise in gas lighting):

Yesterday, as Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings got underway, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gave Democrats on the Judiciary Committee an indignant lecture on how they should deal with a Republican administration’s nominees for the federal bench.

“You had a chance and you lost. If you want to pick judges from your way of thinking, then you better win an election."

Lindsey Graham gives Democrats odd advice on judicial nominees | MSNBC

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is sticking with his party's Supreme Court strategy after meeting with nominee Merrick Garland.

"Just had a good meeting with Judge Garland. ... I told him that I believe that the [Justice Antonin] Scalia vacancy should be filled by the next president," Graham said in a video posted Wednesday after his meeting. "We're well into the nominating process. I think that's best for the court. I think that's best for the country."

The senator made the remarks after sitting down with Garland for a closed-door meeting Wednesday. Graham is the 10th Republican senator, and third GOP member of the Judiciary Committee, to meet with President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.

Although Graham said Garland is "honest and capable" and "his reputation is beyond reproach," he said he still believes the next president should appoint Scalia's successor.

"Let the voters have a say about who they would like to be the next Supreme Court justice. Judge Garland's a fine man, but this should be done by the next president," he added in the video.
