"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,' " he said in 2016 shortly after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. "And you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right."

Graham repeated the sentiment in October 2018 in an interview with The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait till the next election."

I think Trump will nominate someone this week, but regardless of the statements over the weekend the senate will not move on it till after the election.

RBG: "The President is elected for 4 years not 3 years, so the powers that he has in year 3 continue into year 4. Maybe some members of the Senate will wake up & appreciate that that's how it should be."

As we know the rules changed in 2016, so are you ok with the goalposts getting moved yet again?

Was that also true when Obama nominated a candidate in March of his finale year?

Chicos quote and your quote just prove the point that goalposts in politcal dialogue are just illusions. Each party is going to do what it thinks is politically expedient at the time they are in the situation.

Ehhh, not the same. I don’t see the same fawning or criticism when it’s visa versa. Also sitting president of your party, I think expect more criticism from within than stating a position on an issue.

I imagine conservatives view controlling the SC for 2 reasons.

1. abolish abortion
2. run to Courts to stop anything a Dem president or legislature passes.

Re abortion .. do conservatives really think abolishing abortion is a winning strategy going forward? Their hardcore religious base may finally get their wish .. but I just dont see many new voters or independents joining a party that puts religion above politics and the Constitution.

re SC to block Dem laws ... if this happens repeatedly and it becomes apparent that the conservative SC is not applying the law but now just a political branch serving just conservatives ... wont that be the end of the SC? Why wouldnt Dems just add 43 new justices and make the SC the theatre of the absurd? Wouldnt the deference to the SC be greatly diminished in the eyes of Americans?
