Graham: If Kavanaugh Nomination Falls Short, Re-Nominate Him and Make It an Election Issue

[Breitbart] On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s "Hannity," Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated that while he thinks Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed, if he isn’t confirmed, "I would re-nominate him, and I would take this case to the American people," in states red states with Democratic senators.

Graham predicted that Kavanaugh would be confirmed because the FBI won’t discover anything to flip Senator Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) and that Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) are doing due diligence.

Graham then stated, "Now, what would happen if something really weird did occur and we’re one vote short? Here’s what I would tell the president, I would appeal the verdict of the Senate to the ballot box. This good man should not be destroyed. If you legitimize this process by one vote short, woe be unto the next person. I’d hate to be the next person nominated. I would feel horrible that we destroyed Kavanaugh. So what would I do? I would re-nominate him, and I would take this case to the American people, and I’d ask voters in Indiana and Missouri and North Dakota and other places where Trump won saying who he would nominate if he got to be president and see if the voters want to appeal the verdict of their senator."

#1 I'm pretty sure it's already an election issue.

What the hell's gotten into Graham lately? Not complaining really, but this is fun to watch.

#2 Sometimes the process ceases being "Just Business" and becomes Personal, really Personal...
Back in 1993 I had a habit of waking up to C-SPAN (Night Job and my day off to run errands...). The usual 5-Minute Speeches were rolling by showing each Party's Today's Talking Points™, when...
The Ranking Republican Representative(Minority, it was mid-April of 1993) of the House Budget Committee got to the microphone and he was royally PISSED OFF. Waving a pair of sheets he announced that
*) the previous night the *Joint* Committee had adjourned for the evening,
*) the Democrats had taken the notes to the White House and pencilled in changes,
*) Re-convened a "Democrat's Only" Meeting,
*) and at 0900 EST he was handed the papers (with pencil marks), and...
*) informed that the Budget Bill was coming to the Floor at 1100 EST (in two(2) hours!) that very same day!
I remember thinking "OMG! The Majority Democrats just destroyed ANY chance of dealing with the Republicans with this farce!" And, Yes, the GOP Minority went full-on Guerrilla War from then to the Mid-Terms. Senator Feinstein's little caper, egged on by the odious Senator Schumer, in the same manner has just killed any 'comity of the Senate' that might exist.

Good! Because it is way past time to stop pretending that any comity actually existed.
