Please.  This is a different type of hoax.  Some people here are deluded and kind of dumb. You’re not.  The idea that the whole of the Democratic Party attempted a post hoc theft of the 2016 election is absurd. 

I’ll give you that. Certainly not the entire party, but certainly a good portion. And I’m not talking about the voters…I’m talking about the elected representatives.

You pretty much always count on Graham to ‘muck’ things up. I’m sure his intentions were good but good intentions don’t score many points in Washington these days. 

His previous proposal was 20 weeks with the usual exemptions.  Correct?  I'd like to see why they changed the timeline as I think a federal maximum of 20 weeks would be reasonable.  I'd like to see whether the science changed between his bills or did he just do it for political reasons.

I’m guessing it’s for political reasons. You do understand that he’s a politician, right? I’m not a big fan of Graham when it comes to political strategy or instincts but I still have to applaud him for trying to move the discussion/debate along. It’s an old school approach for sure, but it wasn’t that long ago when representatives from both sides of the aisle would work together to reach a compromise. This particular issue certainly needs one….but he’ll be burned at the stake by BOTH sides for even trying.
