Senator Lindsey Graham had a heated rant before storming out of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation questioning Tuesday

He was railing against Democrats and advocates who want Guantanamo Bay detainees released

'As long as they're dangerous, I hope they all die in jail if they're going to go back and kill Americans,' Graham yelled when speaking of the Guantanamo Bay detainees

'It won't bother me one bit if 39 of them die in prison,' he continued. 'That's a better outcome than letting them go.'

'And if it costs $500 million to keep them in jail, keep them in jail. Because they're going to go back to the fight. Look at the fricken Afghan government that's made up of former detainees at Gitmo. This whole thing by the left about this war ain't working.'

At this point, Graham turned off his microphone, grabbed his water bottle and stormed out of the room.

Political theatre.

Why does Lindsey only get passionate during Supreme Court confirmations?

So was his point that we should scrap the public defender system? Otherwise, he’s just yapping.

Id walk out too if ANY nominee, especially black nominee, did not understand the opinion of the Dred Scott case and answered the question with:

To die in a prison is a much better death than they deserve or one that I would give them. To bad the guillotine is retired.

How bout we go back to the Vietnam days and throw them all from a helicopter at 10,000ft - one at a time and no parachute. Gives them about 20 seconds to think about it, then "splat".
