Poor Ms. Lindsey, always whining about something
And the latest complaint from Her Bitchiness Sen. Lindsey Graham is about the selection of judges not committed to actively twisting the law to suit the Teabagger agenda. As if there is something wrong with that.
Graham sharply criticized Senate Democrats’ elimination of the 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster in a bid to confirm judicial and executive nominees of President Barack Obama that Republicans had blocked.The poor old dear can't seem to remember that it was her team that spoiled the filibuster by denying every selection of the President. When you break the pitcher, don't whine about the spill.
“You’re going to have more ideologically driven (executive) picks and judicial nominations because the filtering device of having to at least talk to the other side” is minimized, Graham said.
“You’re going to find that the judicial selections in the future are going to be the ones that the people who are the most rabid partisans are going to pick – the most faithful to the cause, not the most faithful to the law,” he said.
The Senate, where Democrats currently hold 53 seats, voted Nov. 21 along party lines to require only a simple-majority threshold for presidential nominations to fill executive branch posts and judgeships except for the Supreme Court.
