Graham Admits Supreme Court Fight is Payback

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) admitted that the GOP’s refusal to consider any Supreme Court nominee made by President Obama “was payback for the 2013 decision by Senate Democrats to unilaterally change Senate rules to make it easier to break Republican filibusters against executive branch nominations,” the New York Times reports.

Said Graham: “This is the consequence of an abuse of power. Don’t ask for fairness if you are not going to give it.”
