If McCain does, then Graham will. Esp. since Graham, I think, is FRIENDS with Gorsuch. Honeycombe8 Apr 2017 #8

It doesn't matter, they will get payback on this one. What the republicans did to Garland and President Obama WILL not be forgotten when we have the majority again

Graham and Gorsuch worked together once. I saw Graham speaking on tv about the filibuster, and I could see he was passionate and angry he was about the filibuster. Graham is normally a cool customer. Then I remembered reading that he and Gorsuch had worked on a project together or something like that. I'm thinking they got to be friends.
