How Would Someone Go About Doing This?

Lindsay Graham took an oath of office. His statement about 'you don't get a lawyer' is a flagrant violation of his oath. Can he be personally pursued in court for violating his oath of office on the Senate floor by his constituents?

It would be one thing if he said it at a speaking event or on the street, where he would certainly be able to make free speech arguments. But he made it on the Senate floor while acting as a servant of the public under the authority of the office of his oath. Surely there is something here that can be brought before a judge.

Good luck with that. Most of the people that have graced the Senate floors over the past century have done precisely what you're accusing (correctly) Senator Graham of doing.

Even when the criminal charges are justified - as in the case of the Bush administration - hardly a thing ever gets done. Not worth our time, and the media would negatively construe it somehow. Let's focus our efforts on voting these fools out and reeducating the American public.
