Senator Graham, Republicans are in the majority and now is the time to lead or get out of the way! Senator Graham we want an up or down vote on all of President Bush’s judicial nominees and we want to end the filibuster now!
The State Newspaper reported the following.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., spent Thursday trying to forge a compromise on the filibuster controversy rocking the Senate.
Graham holed up with a bipartisan group of about a dozen senators who want to avoid what is known as the “nuclear option” — the end of the filibuster for judicial nominees.
The compromise Senator Graham is trying to reach is to give in to the Democrats on two or three of the judges that would in turn get us votes on the rest of the judges.
What in the world is he thinking? There can be no compromise reached on voting for judges. They all deserve an up or down vote, period!. There can be no compromise with the Democrats. The American people elected Republicans to stop this judicial filibuster. Would the Democrats reach a compromise with us? NO! Neither should we.
This is a power grab by Lindsey plain and simple. The leadership of both parties could not reach an agreement and now we have a handful of Senators, twelve to be exact, who want to cave in and give the Democrats the ability to continue their pattern of “divide and destruct” our judicial nominees.
This is one time that Republicans need to stand strong and not cave in. Everyone needs to call Senator Graham’s office and let him know what you think of this idea. Here are his phone numbers. Call all of them and make sure he know what you are thinking.
