Lindsey Graham: Filibuster Of Alito Will Not Stand

Awesome.

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."


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.
