Lindsey Graham actually said...

"Our oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States has more important than any allegiance my colleagues owe to any other individual."

"The only way they will be trumped and the only way we will find consensus to save this country from becoming Greece, Spain and Italy is to impose a constitutional requirement on the Congress."

"The day we cross that rubicon and understand that the current political dynamic will never lead to a balanced budget..."

"It's anathema to our Constitutional democracy to insulate important decisions about our country's values from the people and the political process."
