Lindsey Graham: Filibuster Of Alito Will Not Stand
Awesome.
Grahm was a member of the "gang of 14" who instigated a compromise to avoid a Democrat filibuster on some of Bush's earlier, non-SCOTUS judicial nominations.
It looks like, as far as Graham is concerned, there will be no compromises this time around. Either the Democrats give Alito an up-or-down vote or the nuclear option will be in play.
Let's hope some of Graham's fellow "gang of 14" members agree.
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, fired back Sunday, saying that if the Democrats staged a filibuster against Judge Alito or Judge Luttig because of their conservatism, "the filibuster will not stand."
