You could make the argument that as the Senate gets to work confirming whoever the President

picks to join the Supreme Court.

One of the politicians with the most at stake here is Lindsey Graham.

The Senator from South Carolina is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, responsible for

organizing hearings for the nominee.

And over the last week, he's become known for a remarkable change of heart about the

process that's about to unfold.

I want you to use my words against me.

If there's a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of

the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, let's let the next President, whoever

it might be, make that nomination.

And you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right.

This was Graham back in 2016, arguing the President should not be able to fill Ruth

Bader Ginsburg's seat.

This is something he didn't just say once.

He said it multiple times to multiple people.

If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term and the primary process is

started, we'll wait to the next election.

And I've got a pretty good chance of being the jury on the record.

Yeah.

All right.

Hold the take.
