Maybe the Kagan vote isn’t the bag just yet. Is it possible that some Dems are secretly hinting that they may vote no? Maybe Obama wants some more Republican votes on the confirmation.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
He won’t jump on a sinking ship.
LOL!
“If...the GOP takes back the Senate, Graham is going to jump ship.”
You just pushed my “that makes too much sense” button.
They have something on Graham. Maybe pictures. He does not act like a man who depends on the good will of South Carolina.
A party switch by Graham would serve the GOP primary voters of SC right, as Thurmond’s breach did for the Demos in 1964. I really have little faith in voters, and particularly SC voters. Graham is one of the four or five worst senators because he sells out for media attention.
NO, not at all. Graham’s vote is required to move the nomination out of the Judiciary Committee. Without at least one GOP vote, the nomination dies in committee. Graham loves betraying the dumb SC voters who back him.
The only way to kill the Kagan nomination would be for McC to replace Graham on the Judiciary Committee. And McC never makes waves.
If he switches parties he’ll finally come out of the closet. Watch.
Interesting that Kagan is no more popular than Harriet Miers. Bush pulled back because many in his own party opposed Miers. But there are few among the Democrats who will oppose her.
