Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday he believes it’s possible President Trump could name as many as four justices to the Supreme Court during his presidency.

“We could have four Supreme Court picks on Trump’s watch,” Graham said Thursday in Washington at a private event sponsored by a political action committee for young conservatives. “Do you understand how big that is for y’all?” ...

What could be better than a guy -- who couldn't win a majority of the vote, even with foreign help -- dominating the courts with his appointments? Lindsey is lining up bodies behind the barricades in the fight for DC

1. And he could push the red button, too.

Not sure which would be worse. Wonder how much other countries would pay him to nuke their enemies versus how much he can charge for a SCOTUS nominee?

2. that's just swell...

[Solly Mack]

3. People should never think LG is a halfway decent anything.

Because he's not. Period.

6. +1

Same with McCain

[Solly Mack]

8. Yep. Same with him, too.

16. "People should never think LG is a halfway decent anything."

I never have and I never will

[Solly Mack]

17. Me neither. Never saw any reason to think better of him.

[dalton99a]

4. The next Democratic president and the next Democratic Senate should expand the Supreme Court

Get it done the first month. Fuck what they think.

10. FDR tried that in 1937. It didn't end well.

[Proud liberal 80]

5. And this is why

They voted for him in the General election and sticking with him now

[AJT]

9. Yep....

[Tiggeroshii]

7. That is why it is so important to take back Congress and block the fuck out of all of them

Effectively we can get a liberal majority if we give the Repugs the same treatment and respect they showed us.

11. I saw this thread and my stomach literally turned. so sick.

[Freethinker65]

12. Or he could only have Gorsuch, or he "could" get two, or he "could" get three, or four, or five...

And Lindsey "could" turn into a GOP senator that puts country above party....not terribly likely, but it "could" happen. Do y'all understand how surprising THAT would be?

[Ccarmona]

13. Sorry John Mc's BBF

But 45 ain't going to serve out his term long enough to see four vacancies to fill.

14. It's the last year of dRumpf's term, so we should hold off confirming his choices....

...until after the next election! Right, Mitch?

[Ezior]

18. Also, the Trump 2020 campaign has already started

He spoke at rallyes and he asks for donations.

According to the Mitch Rule, this means that SCOTUS nominees cannot be confirmed until there's a new POTUS.

15. Dream: Drumpf takes revenge on his own & names Libs

19. I don't feel any better if Pence names them....

....that might even be worse....from a social policy perspective. Argh.

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Is Lindsay Graham revealing that the RNC has a plan to keep the Senate republican

indefinitely?
