Asked by a member of the audience what he would do about automatic cuts to the Pentagon budget that would go into effect because of sequestration, [Senator] Graham responded that the problem had left him sick to his stomach.
He continued:
“And here is the first thing I would do if I were President of the United States: I wouldn’t let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We’re not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We’re not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.”
The statement is extraordinary. A candidate for the presidency of the United States vows that, once elected, he would use the military to impose his - and its - will upon a recalcitrant Congress. Presumably, troops would hold members of the House and Senate at gunpoint until they produced the results demanded.
What Graham described is in essence a military coup, much like those organized by the Pentagon and the CIA in countries like Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, Indonesia, Chile and Argentina, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives in the process.

And this is one of the people running the US Senate?
Something is seriously wrong here.
