Graham Threatens Hold on Nominations

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “threatened to block the
confirmations of President Obama’s nominees for secretary of defense and
head of the Central Intelligence Agency if the administration does not
provide more information about its response to the deadly Sept. 11, 2012
attack on a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya,” the Washington Post reports.

“Graham said that he would not attempt to filibuster, but nodded yes
when asked if he was willing to put holds on the nominees, which
essentially means asking for the courtesy of notification before the
Senate majority leader moves ahead on a vote.”
