In South Carolina, two-term Sen. Lindsey Graham has angered conservatives and fellow Republicans around the state by voting to confirm Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, criticizing opponents of changes in the nation's immigration law and partnering with Democratic Sen. John Kerry on a compromise to climate change legislation, reports the New York Times.
One county GOP organization has already censured Graham for holding Republicans "hostage" by his involvement in several bipartisan efforts, Graham narrowly averted similar actions by a second county GOP party, and a third approved a resolution letting Graham know its opposition to the "cap and trade" provision that's included in legislation to control climate change.
Part of the censure resolution by the Charleston County Republic Party read, "Senator Lindsey Graham -- in the name of bipartisanship -- continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom, rule of law, and fiscal conservatism," according to the Charleston Post and Courier.
