That was Lindsey then:
"If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term and the primary process is started, we'll wait for the next election," Graham said at the time.
This is Lindsey Double-talk now:
"Well, Merrick Garland was a different situation. You had the president of one party nominating, and you had the Senate in the hands of the other party. A situation where you've got them both would be different. I don't want to speculate, but I think appointing judges is a high priority for me in 2020," Graham said in an interview on "Full Court Press with Greta Van Susteren" set to air Sunday.
Of course Liar Lindsey is only falling in line, behind pack-the-courts McConnell:
"As soon as we get back in session, we'll start confirming judges again. We need to have hearings, and we need to confirm judges. ... The pandemic will not prevent us from achieving that goal," McConnell said last month. "My motto for the year is leave no vacancy behind. That hasn't changed."
The comments have led to outcries from Democrats that Republicans are violating the example they set in 2016 by not considering a Supreme Court nomination in an election year, though Republicans said there had been a longstanding precedent already in place.
Consistency and long-standing principles have been permanently cast out of the GOP.

One has to wonder what Loser Lindsey knows, to make him retro-actively reverse-course, on the principle the 2016 GOP once swore to uphold:
"If an opening comes in the last year of [a President’s] term and the primary process is started, we'll wait for the next election.”
They probably have an Office Pool going, on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s health issues finally catching up with her. And Lindsey’s is all-in on the month of August. SO he’s hedging his bets, just in case.
Afterall, the Republican Party traded-in, what few principles they had left, for hypocrisy and a king— when they hitched welded their wagon to Donald Trump — come corona-hell or high-water.
In for a penny, in for the Trump-Trainwreck …

This time — It’s “different” …
it always is -- with the Cheaters Cabal, otherwise known as the GOP.
Integrity left their building long ago — along with John McCain … May he rest in peace.
