The Democrats are threatening to “burn the f—— thing down” if President Donald Trump and the Republicans push to nominate and confirm a Supreme Court justice to fill the vacancy left by the recently deceased Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
But Lindsey Graham isn’t backing down from their fear mongering and threats. “Being lectured by Democrats about how to handle judicial nominations is like an arsonist advising the Fire Department,” said Graham in a recent tweet. “Democrats chose to set in motion rules changes to stack the court at the Circuit level and they chose to try to destroy Brett Kavanaugh’s life to keep the Supreme Court seat open. You reap what you sow.”

“My Democratic colleagues felt that when they were in charge, we should confirm judges by a majority vote, they changed the rules to accommodate President Obama, they tried to stack the court,” he said during an interview.
I stand by what I said in Jan. 2019: Harry Reid & Chuck Schumer changed Senate rules to try and stack the courts for Obama. Now it's coming back to haunt them as I predicted. I'm dead set on confirming @realDonaldTrump’s nominee. If you stand with me: https://t.co/MYF6qgyjdI pic.twitter.com/lsejlSs0QQ
