Yes! I do remember that! Lindsey Graham actually did an amazing job in setting up this little educational moment. The only time I actually liked Graham.
There is no such thing as Constitutional Rights. They do not exist, nor have they ever existed.
What he should have said is the Constitution doesn't protect anyone that commits treason with a foreign country.
Except, that would be wrong, as well. Government cannot take anyone's rights, treason, or not. They come from our Creator, period. They can put them on trial for the crimes they are accused of committing, and, if found guilty, sentence them. In cases of treason, it should always be a capital crime.
“The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to “create” rights. Rather they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.” ~ Justice William J. Brennan (1906-1997) U. S. Supreme Court Justice

“[You have Rights] antecedent to all earthly governments: Rights, that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; Rights, derived from the Great Legislator of the universe.” ~ John Adams (1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President

“It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
Speech at the Virginia Convention, December 2, 1829
“Now all acts of legislature apparently contrary to natural right and justice, are, in our laws, and must be in the nature of things, considered as void. The laws of nature are the laws of God: A legislature must not obstruct our obedience to him from whose punishments they cannot protect us. All human constitutions which contradict His laws, we are in conscience bound to disobey. Such have been the adjudications of our courts of justice.” ~ George Mason (1725-1792), drafted the Virgina Declaration of Rights, ally of James Madison and George Washington
“Among the natural Rights of the Colonists are these: First, a Right to Life; secondly, to Liberty; thirdly, to Property; together with the Right to support and defend them in the best Manner they can. Those are evident Branches of, rather than Deductions from, the Duty of Self-Preservation, commonly called the first Law of Nature.” ~ Samuel Adams (1722-1803), was known as the "Father of the American Revolution."

This sounds like a nitpick, but honestly frens; it's the exact opposite.
It's a truly & totally crucial distinction!
The Constitution doesn't GIVE nor GRANT us rights; it ENSHRINES / Lists / Enumerates SOME CERTAIN - NOT ALL - SOME - God-Given, INALIENABLE, Pre-Existing Human Rights, in order to specifically and emphatically PROTECT THOSE RIGHTS.
Next, can we debunk / stop with the whole "driving is a privilege, not a right" bullshit????
Finally;
The 10th amendment needs to be talked about WAY more than it is, and cited as grounds for deleting like 90%+++ of laws, rules, regulations, government agencies, etc. etc.

…which is why GITMO has recently been expanded.

Part of the 2020 sting was to turn a large number of them, all the way up the food chain, into enemy combatants.
And lawfare, in turn, has proven the civil courts to be broken, opening another avenue to tribunals.
Actually it allowed the enemy combatants to simply show their true colors…while those who should have been watching were finally watching.
Gonna be epic!! Can not wait!!!
And this is why I identify as a conspiracy therapist…
I believe that a lot of the enemy combatants have been forcefully retired, especially the foreign ones.
Well, at least you're not the rapist; Bill Clinton.
Ouch!!!
That’s a fact…it’s Henry…and I don’t do cigars.
".......to undermine America and framing a sitting President for treason?

Why, yes I do. Yes. I. Do.
👍👌
Yeah I DO remember that, it was during his confirmation hearing while being questioned by Sen Graham.
👍😎
Yup. I remember. I wonder if Graham was thinking of his best senate buddy during this exchange. BTW, has anyone seen him recently? Graham that is.
Yea, good times. Can we bring this back ASAP?
I remember them working with 5 Eyes to overthrow our President!

Ya know, I wonder what goes on in that guys brain sometimes.
Graham asking this is so ironic... probably some kind of veiled threat if Kavanaugh ever tries to pass judgment against him.
This gave me hope during his confirmation hearings.
John Kerry comes to mind
Purely hypothetical to me.
