Graham just inadvertently admitted they don't want an investigation because....

[George II]

....it would take them past the midterm elections.

[avebury]

1. And the Rethugs whine everytime

they are reminded that the Rethugs wouldn't hold a proper hearing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Well, duh. Silly of him to admit it, though.

[Zoonart]

3. Acting like Dr. Ford is on trial.

Kangaroo court with no investigation, no discovery, no witnesses...no cross. Ridiculous and corrosive.

[Mr.Bill]

7. And still they are losing badly. n/t

[SunSeeker]

4. Exactly. nt

[Doreen]

5. Stupid ass said the Dems are making it political.

No, you pasty piece of white shit your party is. They keep talking about this interfering with seating Kavanaugh and the Dems keep talking about justice for someone who was attacked sexually.

[unblock]

6. if they hadn't delayed, the investigation would be over by now.

what he means is that a more thorough investigation would have turned up more damaging material for them to sift through and discuss....

[Wounded Bear]

8. Well, that and they don't want the real Kavan-R exposed for what he is...

any worse than has been shown so far.

[FakeNoose]

9. Thanks for the reminder Lindsey

[JHan]

10. best graphic ever

[KSNY]

14. Funny!

[spanone]

11. that's what his outrage is all about.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Yes, well, we all know that. All the Senators, too. It's a matter of deadline. nt

[Scarsdale]

13. Poor Lindsey.

McConnell will be very upset with him, since he is unable to push through Kavenaugh's acceptance to the SC. They had both promised tRump it would be done. What is REALLY in this for them? Are they being blackmailed by the Kremlin, too? Graham really has his knickers in a twist. Poor little guy.

[yuiyoshida]

15. Mark my words, the Republican will push him though

Despite any massive protests, this COUNTRY HAS GONE TO SHIT... old white men acting like THE FUCKING Communists in Russia.

[Jarqui]

16. It would take them past Gamble v USA too .... nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. But that doesn't matter. The new congress doesn't get sworn in until January,

so the current senators have two months following the election to confirm a Supreme Court justice.

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. He thinks like a Republican. And just assumes D's will block appointments for two years.

..if they take the House. That would be a no-brainer for the GOP in the same position.

I can only HOPE that is the case, if a miracle happens and K is not appointed. Never underestimate the ability for some Democrats to "moderate" themselves off of a cliff, just, you know, to be fair n all.

[47of74]

20. Especially a certain Senator from NY who has a propensity for throwing fellow Democrats under busses

[Power 2 the People]

19. +1000 Exactly!

He emphatically claims the Democrats are delaying for political reasons. As usual, no reporter took him to task on trying to ram this through for purely political reasons.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

21. KR NT

[Separation]

22. Please please somebody pick up on this

[Separation]

23. Let this thread trend so somebody can see this and pass it on

[R B Garr]

24. Darn! I had to do one little errand and missed Graham...

I'll check the clips later.
