Graham 'will do whatever is necessary' to get Gorsuch confirmed to Supreme Court


Democrats who refuse to vote for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch risk looking like “you lost your mind,” Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview broadcast on Sunday afternoon. Graham, speaking to Paul Gigot of The Journal Editorial Report, pushed back on the notion that Senate Democrats could be contemplating a filibuster to try to block Gorsuch, who was nominated to the high court on Tuesday by President Trump. But since then, Senate Democrats abolished the filibuster for federal appointments and many judgeships (excluding the Supreme Court), potentially opening the door to Republicans turning the tables and abolishing the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. President Trump has openly advocated this approach; however, Graham, a moderate, hopes it doesn’t come to that. And I think they’re going to hurt the institution and hurt themselves.”
