Graham Holds Up Senate Over $40k Earmark
A top Senate Republican has pledged to block action on several pending judicial nominations until funding for a Charleston port project is approved, leading the White House to intervene in an effort to break the impasse.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters Wednesday that he will block votes on any nominations until he is assured that $40,000 will be devoted to a study related to deepening the Port of Charleston.
Graham said he had originally requested that the money be included in the deal funding the government for the rest of the current fiscal year, but that the final agreement hammered out by President Obama and congressional leaders late last week did not include it.
In response to his pledge to block the nominations, Graham said that Vice President Joe Biden called him on Tuesday to discuss the port funding.
Why doesn’t Lindsey Graham just jump up and down and huff and puff until he gets his way? Maybe he should stand there and stomp his feet and hold his breath until his face turns red like six year old kids do when throwing a tantrum. The way he is acting is not really any different.
$40,000? Seriously? Granted, in the $3 trillion American shake down the feds call their 2011 budget $40,000 isn’t even a blip on the radar, but that’s just it. $40,000 isn’t even a blip on the radar so why can’t the State of South Carolina cough up the measly 40 grand for their own damn port? Not as if I’m opposed to the Senate coming to a halt. After all we’re all better off when the federal government isn’t doing anything, but somebody please stick a pacifier in this baby’s mouth.
