    Harry Reid's rule change was in 2013, three years before Graham announced he would never confirm a justice in an election year. So ultimately his change of heart is based on a SC nominee having a tough confirmation hearing.

    Again, why don't these cowards just say, "Our majority, our rules" and quit trying to fabricate some weak moral justification?
    Nobody cares about War Machine Graham's BS.

    As it is, Dems and Repubs horse traded in 2016 and it is what it is. Dems got played like the es they are.

    So strange to see her connected to Jamaica. I think I'll stick to Bob Marley and Usain Bolt.
    You claim to be half asian and jamaican, no?

    You should be speaking out on the racial outburst from the koriwhat types. He's also mocking you when he tries to denigrate Harris for being half jamaican.

    Graham also re-announced he would not vote to confirm a SCOTUS pick in an election year on October 3, 2018 (link below). Kavanaugh hearings were almost completely over by then, he was confirmed less than a week later. His tweet is completely incoherent, he re-committed to not confirming a SCOTUS pick in an election year after both of these events he claims to be so flamboyantly offended by

    Collins issued a statement today saying she "doesn't think" the senate should try to confirm someone prior to the election, but you're right she could just be concerned. She might even be concerned enough to write a sternly worded letter only to vote yes and then say she thinks Trump learned his lesson.

    Romney has never spoken publicly on the issue, it's just assumed he's not a complete rubber stamp.

    Grassley has said he "doesn't think it's a good idea" to appoint a SCOTUS judge in an election year but wasn't committal.

    Dark horse candidate is Lamar Alexander. Retiring senator who doesn't like Trump. Don't think that has a chance at happening but it's possible.
    considering graham walked back his very committal statement without issue, i think its a near certainty that grassley toes the line

    isnt lamar alexander the who basically admitted everything trump did wrong with ukraine and still voted not to impeach

    I'm not sure why they're coming up with stupid rationalizations that make them look like hypocrites. If McConnell just kept saying all along "We're the majority so we're ramming our judges through when we can, we're also stopping the other side's judges. Sorry Dems but jokes on you for not showing up to vote in midterm elections" they wouldn't lose any supporters over it and swing voters who rarely pay attention to politics wouldn't either. All it does is put senators in blue/purple states in more precarious positions when they use ty justifications.

    I'm convinced Trump has dirt on Graham, likely related to his repressed sexuality. The 180 Graham has done on Trump is so pronounced it's bizarre

    Who is the one assuming in this post that the word Jamaican means "black"? Our motto is "Out of Many One People" - you guys could learn something about different people living together in relative peace - and yes, the black Jamaicans are poor and descendants of slaves too but they do not blame me or any other non-black for whatever went on hundreds of years ago. We do not see each other through the lens of race the way you do - my mother's brother is married to a woman as black as Lebron, and it's nothing that unusual in Jamaica.

    And no - I am full Chinese and full Jamaican. I consider myself a Jamaican Chinese. Jamaican first - because I think like a Westerner (and believe me, I know the difference with a very old-fashioned, traditional father from China) and Chinese last because I only look (and eat) like one. I don't speak the language. I don't follow their traditions where children (sons being all important) are concerned. I've never even been to China.

    Everyone is en led to his own opinion, but you guys go on and on and bicker like crazy. And please don't tell me what I should be doing - I don't see you jumping to my defense when I get attacked for no reason.

    I guess I don't understand why leaving a legacy of selling out your convictions to be a flip-flopping boy for someone you said was dangerous to the nation is preferable to just admitting you're a closet sexual who's been blackmailed. At least with the latter you have a future as a tragic hero and maybe even a NYT best selling book.
