Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) walked out of Tuesday’s Senate hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson during a clash with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) over the release of terror detainees from Guantanamo Bay, exclaiming at one point that he wouldn’t care if they died in prison without trial.Graham (R-SC) had grilled Jackson about her time representing Gitmo detainees while she was a federal public defender in Washington, DC and pointed out that those released from the military prison in Cuba often returned to the battlefield to kill Americans — with some even ending up in high-ranking Taliban positions. The South Carolina lawmaker also ranted against far-left groups who advocated for Jackson’s nomination at the expense of Graham’s preferred candidate, Palmetto State federal judge J. Michelle Childs.
