Having lived in WA state for 16+ years, and I thought Cantwell was the better of the two bimbo’s. I guess any one would be better than Osama lover Patty Murray.

yes, this will be a new Dem/MSM talking point.

Graham’s response here is not much better than the rest of the RussiaRussiaRussia rubbish he came out with on Meet the Press, but it’s something. Republicans need to counter the spin with “there was no Russia collusion” and leave it at that:

1 Jul: Daily Caller: Graham: Trump’s SCOTUS Nominee Can Not Recuse Themselves From Russia Investigation
by Robert Donachie
“The president’s pick may end up having to rule on issues having to do with the Mueller investigation. Neil Gorsuch didn’t come up — he came up before there was a Robert Mueller special counsel. Now he exists. Do you believe this nominee needs to commit to recusing him or herself or anything having to do with the Mueller probe directly right now if it makes its way to the Supreme Court?” Chuck Todd asked Graham on “Meet the Press” on NBC Sunday.

“I‘ve been a lawyer before I was a politician. To recuse yourself is proper in some cases,” Graham told Todd. “The idea you can’t judge someone who picks you is not a good grounds for recusal. There is a difference between the case at hand and the judge. It makes perfect sense that Jeff Sessions can’t oversee an investigation on a campaign he was a part of, but I wouldn’t have a broad rule you can’t review anything about President Trump because he chose you.”...

I defer to those who must suffer with these two mental midgets. It’s not fair for one state to have to put up with two of them.

Please let him propose that question to Trump’s SC nominee. I want to hear them reply, “Senator, per the U.S. Constitution a sitting President is not subject to prosecution for any crimes and therefore cannot be compelled to testify in such cases. However the Constitution provides for a means whereby a sitting President may be indicted and removed from office and that is called impeachment. If you had been awake and paying attention during high school civics class you would have known that and not had to ask me such a stupid f*cking question”

Does he go on to say the same about Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan?

If not than he's just another moron with Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Unfortunately, Connecticut has two mental midgets, too. BloomingIdiot and Chris Murphy, who accomplishments could make Bill Nelson (40 years in Washington, nothing to show for it) look like a great Senator.

What, that can’t be true. Blumenthal is a well known Vietnam hero. He and his foxhole buddy John Kerry took out even more NVA than John Basilone did against the Japs in Guadalcanal.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal it isn’t up to the SCOTUS to judge the Executive branch. The only way to do that is Impeachment by Congress with the Chief Justice presiding. Any issue of Presidential privilege brought to the SCOTUS is moot.

You know....that’s the real solution to dumping Sessions. ‘Fire’ him by offering him the seat to the Supreme Court. That would really make things interesting.

I doubt if she really works more than 90 minutes a day. But it would be a creative way to get rid of Sessions.

Hey, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Dangerous Idiot-Connecticut) - isn’t there a train station platform somewhere that you should be inspecting right now, instead of flapping your gums?

All Dims and Libs should recuse themselves from living in the USA.

Trump ought to proactively pardon Vladimir Putin — on July 4th — just to mess with their feeble little minds.
