The Internet time machine never forgets. As Graham bellyaches on his Twitter feed about Democrats and Gorsuch, someone once said it’s 60-votes for SCOTUS nominee.
Interestingly, that someone was Lindsey Graham.
Graham seems to be indicating he’s willing to nuke the filibuster, that he strongly believes should be in place so both parties can participate in the confirmation?
Go over to his Twitter feed and remind him of what he said. :-)

Notably, a topic raised during the meeting between Garland and Graham was the “politicization of the judiciary,” which Graham said was a concern to the veteran judge.
“He said he hopes that the politics between the parties will not do a lot of damage to the judiciary,” Graham said. “I worry about that. That’s why I think the 60-vote requirements [to confirm Supreme Court nominees] are good because it requires both parties to get a handful of votes.”
