Graham Pulls Support for Major Senate Climate Bill

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has been actively participating towards an energy bill with Democratic Senators John Kerry and Joseph I. Lieberman. The moment Graham heard of a possibility of adding on immigration measures before the energy bill, he opted out as a supporter. Graham believes that focusing on issues like illegal imigration would make it 'impossible to deal with the difficult issues involved in national energy and global warming poicy.' He feels that energy must be the priority.
