THE COMMENT
“I hear people like Sen. [Mitch] McConnell talking about the fact that he sat down with the folks at the White House. He’s already made his decision even before he’s taken his oath to promise impartial justice. He sees no need for us to spend a lot of time. My friend, Sen. Lindsey Graham, refers to the whole thing as a crock. You know, what it boils down to is we may interfere with some tee times here, but we ought to really stand up for the demeanor, the history and the tradition of the Senate in terms of doing this in the proper way.” - Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois on Face The Nation this weekend
