Senator Lindsey Graham is on Chris Matthews right now.
He is just loving the attention he is getting from the liberal media tonight.
I wouldn't go so far to call them "sane". Many of these are the same people who went off the deep end over Terri Schiavo (already been brought up in several threads tonight because the "Republicans" sold her out to be murdered according to the posters) and go off the deep end any time the word immigration is mentioned.
They don't seem to get it that Frist can't hold a gun to their heads and make them vote a certain way. We know that McLame, Snow, Collins, Chaffee are always going to RINO us when they get the chance so that means the Senate is really 51-49. All it takes are a couple of more idiots to totally screw up the works and as usual, a few rear their heads.
It's late and I'm still wrestling with this news. I need to sleep on it and hear Rush's take tomorrow. You may be right. This might not be that big of a deal afterall. I just hate for a handful of RINOS to have this sort of control over the Senate.
My guess is that this would have happened anyway ...all the Dems have to do is to give an up or down vote on each nominee and they delay the showdown and maintain their right to filibuster. all this does is rubberstamp waht they would have done anyway and all parties declare victory. The fight remains to be fought another day
On critical issues, they always have had such control. That's why we need to get to 60 Republicans.
I doubt anything will happen to Graham. Can you say Arlen Specter, of Scottish law?
