Graham Storms Out Of SCOTUS Hearing [VIDEO]

March 22, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

Mediaite reports:

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stomped away from Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing after getting in a heated clash with Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) over Guantanamo Bay.

The judge explained she was “standing up for the constitutional value of representation” with her work, and as this topic came up during questions from Graham, he went into a tangent about how many Gitmo detainees rejoined extremist groups after being released.

Shortly thereafter, Graham challenged Durbin over his recidivism figures before exclaiming “We had em, and they got loose and they started killing people!”

Newsweek reports:



Graham began his questioning of Jackson on Tuesday by asking the judge what her faith is, as he aired grievances about the treatment of Amy Coney Barrett and other conservative justices.

“Could you fairly judge a Catholic?” Graham asked after Jackson described herself as a non-denominational Protestant. He then went on to ask the judge about how important her faith was to her and to rate her faithfulness in terms of religion on a scale of 1 to 10.

Jackson reminded Graham: “As you know there is no religious test in the Constitution.” The senator’s questions came just one day after he told Jackson that she wouldn’t be vilified or attacked for her religious views.
