4 GOP Senators Said They Would Not Confirm New Justice

CNN lists four Republicans senators who have said they will oppose a vote on a new Supreme Court justice just before the election:

Sen. Susan Collins to the New York Times: “I think that’s too close, I really do.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski in September: “Fair is fair.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham in October 2018: “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election. And I’ve got a pretty good chance of being the Judiciary Chairman. Hold the tape.” 

Sen. Chuck Grassley said in July he would follow the Biden rule: “I’m just following what was established by the Biden Rule in 1986 and then emphasized by him in 1992… They set the pattern. I didn’t set the pattern. But it was very legitimate that you can’t have one rule for Democratic presidents and another rule for Republican presidents.”
