Memo to Lindsey Graham

Filed under: General,Judiciary — Patterico @ 11:42 pm



Senator Graham:

I understand that you said today that critics of Harriet Miers should “shut up.”

Remember when Democrat Senators were filibustering qualified judicial nominees? That was the time to say “shut up” — to the Democrats.

You failed us, and we may now be paying the price with the nomination of Harriet Miers. Many people have opined that George Bush made this nomination because he was afraid a strong nominee would be filibustered.

Because of your little Gang of 14. Because of you.

So why don’t you “shut up” already?

Thank you.

  1. […] a leftist Democrat / conservative Republican Senate filibuster of the Miers nomination. It shouldn’t be that hard to find 20+ leftists and 20+ conservatives in the Senate, capable of sustaining a filibuster of the nomination. What would you say to that Lindsey Graham? […]

  2. I was such a fan of his during the House impeachment hearings and the Senate trial. He seems to have worked very hard since then to erode my admiration, sort of like a prematurely old hunting dog who’s become incontinent.
