Old enough to remember McConnell/Grassley writing in 2016 that it was "the American people, rather than a lame-duck president whose priorities and policies they just rejected in the most-recent national election, who should be afforded the opportunity to replace Justice Scalia."
"I want you to use my words against me," Graham said in 2016. "If there& #39;s a Republican president [elected] in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, & #39;Let& #39;s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.& #39;"
