Look, I do not like it any better than you do. It is shameful, pandering and potentially dangerous to the security and well being of the USA. What it is not, is unConstitutional.
"To qualify as a U.S. Senator, a candidate must be at least 30 years old, a U.S. citizen for at least 9 years, and an inhabitant of the state they represent at the time they are elected,"
Lindsey Graham's sister appears to meet the qualifications laid out in the Constitution. Another way of saying that is that she is qualified. I would suggest that quite likely, the overwhelming majority of SC citizens over 30 are qualified. I would NOT however, suggest that they were all suited for the position.
According to Wikipedia, "Lindsey Graham’s sister is Darline Graham Nordone. She earned a Bachelor of Science in sociology from the College of Charleston in 1989 and later completed a Master of Arts in rehabilitation counseling from South Carolina State University.
Professionally, she has worked in public administration and vocational rehabilitation, including roles with the South Carolina Department of Vocational Rehabilitation and later as commissioner and agency head of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind."
On paper, she might reasonably be considered more suited for the job than Lindsey. I have no idea how she feels about the taste of of the Felon's ass but I observed Lindsey enjoying it.
I do not know her politics or personal views or how closely she pays attention to politics and I could not pick her out of a police lineup. The information I have seen so far suggest that she is Constitutionally qualified for the job and I am uncomfortable with choosing a different standard. I simply cannot at this time discuss her suitability for the position from an informed position.
I do not trust the GOP at all. I will be totally unshocked if she turns out to be the same sort of irredeemable piece of shit that her brother became. She can be both totally qualified and totally unsuited.
The words just have to mean something.
