"Graham, centrists bravely defy partisan politics
BY FORGING a compromise over judicial nominations, a core group of moderates rescued the U.S. Senate from being pushed, by extremists on both sides, into a partisan death spiral. The compromise preserves the Senate's role on nominations, and its ability to function. It also keeps intact the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches, which the 'nuclear option' sought to shift.
The senators who did this under fire, including South Carolina�s Lindsey Graham, deserve our thanks."
Thanks, Senator. Glad you have such high regard for the UNCONSTITUTIONAL process of filibustering. Maybe you should talk to your friend Lieberman--at least he had the principle to call the filibuster for what it was (that is, when Democrats were in the majority).

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
