Unlike most of the Mainstream Media headlines trumpeting Sen. Grahams alleged “Support for Sotomayor” he DID NOT say he would vote for her. 

Watch his 2 minutes on the video below.  Then decide if these headlines are accurate (first two are from MSNBC – need I say more?).  Why would the MSM want to takes his remarks out of context?  To try and get the Republicans focused on EATING THEIR OWN, instead of being united in the fight with the Democrats.  Its the old divide and conquer strategy.

Graham open to supporting Soto?

Graham: Sotomayor confirmation likely

Sotomayor hearings: Lindsey Graham pops the balloon

  At the Sotomayor confirmation hearings, AP is reporting that Lindsay Graham (R- SC) said the following.

 ”Unless you have a complete meltdown, you are going to be confirmed,”

well, since the Dem’s have 60 seats that’s true…….

“The Hispanic element of this hearing is important, but … this is mostly about liberal and conservative politics more than it is about anything else,” said Graham.

Wait a minute – how EXACTLY is the Hispanic element important, and how EXACTLY is it about politics?  A SCOTUS confirmation should be about the APPLICATION of the LAW!

Mr. Graham made it clear he was bothered, like many of his Republican colleagues, by some of Judge Sotomayor’s past comments, including her remark that a “wise Latina” would often reach a better judicial conclusion than a white man. “If I had said anything remotely like that, my career would have been over,” Mr. Graham said. “That is true of most people here.…It just bothers me when someone wearing a robe takes it off and says their experience makes them better than someone else.”

Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter – but wait – Lindsay just can’t make it all the way across the finish line.  And South Carolina isn’t even a heavy Hispanic state, so what’s the deal Senator?  Is there something you expect her to say that will change your mind? 

“My Republican Colleagues who vote against you……I don’t know what I’m going to do yet”
