Calling it an overreaction is also dissmissive.
The timing is relevant. Graham made these calls almost two years ago. His appeal is at best a hail mary but more solidly a delaying tactic to push his required testimony out to a point in time when his political allies can block it.
Every day counts. Delaying his testimony by a few days immediately before an election is a cynical move by Thomas. It is politically motivated. He’s helping Graham run out the clock. This is why the stay itself is politically-motivated obstruction. That’s why people are up in arms about it. It’s not overreaction.
