I think Limbaugh used to refer to him as Sen. Lindsey Grahamnesty,

and I'm sick of that little bastard pretending to be be conservative at some level yet continually willing to chop at our rights for the Democrats.
A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have re-introduced the EARN IT Act, an incredibly unpopular bill from 2020 that was dropped in the face of overwhelming opposition. Let’s be clear: the new EARN IT Act would pave the way for a massive new surveillance system, run by private companies, that would roll back some of the most important privacy and security features in technology used by people around the globe. It’s a framework for private actors to scan every message sent online and report violations to law enforcement. And it might not stop there. The EARN IT Act could ensure that anything hosted online—backups, websites, cloud photos, and more—is scanned.
Which means that's exactly how it would be used.  Which means it needs to die in a fire.

And the morons who keep pushing it need to go away.  I will refrain from wishing they die in the same fire, but they DO need to go away.
