    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said on Monday night that Republicans have enough votes to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement to the Supreme Court.

    “It’s pretty obvious [when] they want an outcome, they’ll destroy anybody’s life to keep these seats open. They said they tried to destroy Brett Kavanaugh so they could fill the seat, they were dumb enough to say that,” Graham said. “I’ve seen this movie before. It’s not going to work, it didn’t work with Kavanaugh.”

    I’m glad. I was worried about Graham supporting the process prior to election.

    Good news about Romney as well.

    peace to you

    I would have been prior to McCain's death. Graham is a different senator since his passing.

    Graham 2.0 is growing on me. He was disappointing before, but I think he's genuinely trying to do the right thing and genuinely supports the President. He's also politically motivated, and he's no political fool. His personal reelection may depend on this.

    I would watch out for Romney. He might be "in favor" of the Senate voting on the nominee, but he never said or suggested *how* he might vote. He might intentionally vote no to force matters to a new post-election nominee or even with further delay until after Jan 3 or 20.

    Agreed. He shouldn't be relied on. Like the politician he is, he says he favors a court with a center right view to reflect the nation over liberalism, but also that he likely doesn't approve of everyone on Trump's list of potential nominees.
