However, in 2016, he joined the Republican boycott of Merrick Garland, the man Barack Obama nominated to replace Antonin Scalia. The Republican senate leadership justified their refusal to take up the nomination on the basis that in an election year, it should be for the next president to decide who to pick.

Additionally, he stated this in a Twitter video as well

He's a POS.
My prediction is that he will lose and retire from politics immediately.

I hope so, his challenger is doing really well call considering. We have to wonder if this fight to fill the seat will hurt Graham, I don't think it's as cut and dried as people are making it out to be. Harrison can (and will likely) use this video in ads everywhere.

Oh, I wish I could believe this video could shame Graham into not voting on a nominee. But as we all know, Graham has no shame.

I get the feeling the passing of RBG puts him in a position he would rather not be in.

And make millions as a lobbyist. That's their ultimate goal anyway while we suffer through their thought process and policies.

Luckily, Trump is to drain the swamp.

Well, Trump will probably have the highest swamp to prison ratio for a president. So good on him for that, even if he did have to dip them in the swamp himself first.

No. He put himself in that position.
