Lindsey Graham: Traitor?

Sen. Lindsey Graham is now at the center of negotiations to avoid a confrontation on the constitutional option. Once again, any compromise that would maintain the filibusters in any way, shape or form for judicial confirmation is unacceptable. Graham is from the deep red state of South Carolina and has no excuse whatsoever for even posturing. He should be leading the charge to do away with this unconstitutional tool of anti-religious bigotry.

The stakes of this battle could not be higher with a Supreme Court nomination likely just weeks away. Any nominee that is acceptable to conservatives must be able to get through the Senate with 51 votes. Democrats will hold nominees to the Carhart test, making the case that any judge who isn't a left wing extremist is not acceptable. If the Constitution means anything to the high Court in the future, we must restore the Constitutional standard of majority approval.

In addition to the obvious implications for the Supreme Court, make no mistake that this vote will determine who is really in the majority. Any Republican who votes against the Constitutional option should be considered a traitor, and defeating them in primaries should become the number one priority of conservatives. Lindsey Graham, should he defect, will be at the top of that list.

Contact Senator Graham over the weekend and tell him that the Constitution, the Supreme Court, our Senate majority, AND HIS CAREER are at stake here.

Wondering how much his vote matters? Here's the outlook:
55 Republicans
- McCain
54
- Chafee
53
- Snowe
52
- Collins (expected)
51
- Warner (expected)
50 = zero margin for error.
