Senators Graham & Kyl have no ethics....

ETHICS -- CONSERVATIVE SENATORS SUBMIT A FABRICATED DEBATE IN ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE SUPREME COURT:

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) drafted a fictional account of a supposed debate they had on the Senate floor and submitted it to the Supreme Court in an effort to convince the Court that it did not have jurisdiction over the recent Hamdan case.

Hamdan's lawyers, however, spotted the hoax. They told the Court that the legislative history was entirely invented after-the-fact, and that it consisted of "a single scripted colloquy that never actually took place, but was instead inserted into the record after the legislation had passed." The brief noted that this Graham-Kyl colloquy was "simply an effort to achieve after passage of the Act precisely what [they] failed to achieve in the legislative process."

The insertion of the added comments was noted and rejected by the court.

Graham and Kyl "attempted to make the dialogue -- added to the Dec. 21, 2005, record -- appear real. Kyl, is quoted at one point as saying, 'Mr. President, I see that we are nearing the end of our allotted time.' In another instance, Graham and Kyl inserted Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas in the fabricated Senate floor discussion, saying 'If I might interrupt,' according to published accounts of the comments."

Graham was unapologetic over his efforts to deceive the Court. "I know what I've done. I've done it before and I'll do it again," he said.
