Just dug up this clip of Obama in 2016:
"When there is a vacancy on the SCOTUS, the President is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination... There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off-years. That's not in the Constitution text."

We all know that everything he said back then to block Obama’s nominee was bullshit. They stopped Obama’s nomination because they could. They will fill this seat because they can.
Did anyone ever believe Graham had some sort of high-minded principle that he was adhering to?

We need all the help we can to make sure we have the funds to be on TV against Trump and Senate Republicans in November. Please retweet and chip in to our October Surprise fund here:

Regardless of where you stand, this clip highlights true and undeniable hypocrisy. Republicans should have just stood and taken their lumps for blocking Garlands nomination as within their rights and powers to do so. Especially, in light of how fervently righteous they acted.

Watch Lyndsee argue that, based on the polls, this might be Donald Trump‘s LAST term so it’s perfectly OK for him to appoint a supreme court judge.

@LindseyGrahamSC

As youngster with mid-west Company. We had a term for those who wouldn’t honor their bills, the Charlatans, the Trump kind.
Don’t know Lindsey Graham but he turn into one -NGDB- i.e. NoGoodDeadBeat. They bluff like U spinning Top in mud Month-A-nonth-A-month of delinquencies!
@AdamParkhomenko
He said up front, "...use my words against me." He is admitting that in that situation he would feel differently. I can appreciate his candor on this point.
