Graham Says GOP Wouldn’t Have Given Jackson a Hearing

In a sign of how thoroughly the Supreme Court confirmation process has devolved into outright partisanship, a still-angry Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Ketanji Brown Jackson would not have gotten a hearing if Republicans controlled the chamber, Politico reports.

Graham said Biden would have had to name a more moderate pick: “We’re supposed to be like trained seals over here clapping when you appoint a liberal. That’s not going to work.”

Sam Stein: “We are moving quickly towards a situation where if the Senate is in control of the opposite party of the president there will simply never be a SCOTUS confirmation. We may be there already.”
