There is no honor among thieves …or apparently the current Republican Senate.
·
Lindsey Graham said Republicans wouldn't give
Jackson a hearing if they had the Senate majority.
·
"If we were in charge, she would not have
been before this committee," he said Monday.
·
His comments underscore the depth of Republican
hostility to Biden's Supreme Court nominee.

Really Lindsey?
Really? Really? That is NOT a mark of pride. It is an acknowledgement that the failure to
hold a nomination hearing on Merrick Garland was NOT because his SCOTUS nomination
was during an election year and was thus not appropriate. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett's nomination
hearings already proved that, didn’t they. The problem is that most Republican Senators
will not hold hearings on any nomination to the Supreme Court by a Democratic President.
This means that Republican Senators will not honor their constitutional duty to
provide advice and consent for nominations by a Democratic President.
Senators, Democrats and Republicans, swear an oath to uphold
the Constitution, whose sovereign is the People. They do NOT swear an oath to
the their Party. Should anyone trust admitted
oath breakers?
It looks like those who believe in small government, but who
also believe in the truth and who believe in the inclusion of all people do NOT
have a place in today's Republican Party.
Representative Upton has only been the latest to have figured that
out, hasn’t he? Where are the rest to go?
