Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) challenged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Sunday to name one person from President Donald Trump's list of potential Supreme Court justices that he finds acceptable.
"This is a list that was compiled in November, but he actually put it out during the campaign," Graham told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace, as he held up the list. "Twenty something people on this list, asking Chuck Schumer, name five, name three, name one that would be okay with you."
Schumer and fellow Democrats tried to pressure Trump and Republicans to withdraw then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after several allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. Kavanaugh didn't withdraw and was confirmed by the Senate in a close 50-48 vote to be a Supreme Court justice. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) voted "present" to offset her no vote with the absence of her colleague Sen. Steve Daines (R., Mont.). Daines was at his daughter's wedding but was willing to come back to D.C. if his vote was needed. The vote was largely on party lines with Murkowski being the only Republican who didn't vote for Kavanaugh's confirmation, while Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) was the lone Democrat voting in favor.
Graham added that Kavanaugh is a mainstream judge that any Republican president would have nominated and that Democrats are trying to undo the 2016 election and prevent conservative jurists from being confirmed.
"Brett Kavanaugh was a mainstream judge. I would've chosen if i had been president, everybody running for president on our side believe that Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch were outstanding conservative jurists. The other side wants to cancel the election,"

Pretty much anyone Chuckie might actually like should be moved to the bottom of a list or removed.
WHERE?!?!? Where was THIS Lindsey Graham for the last several years??
bttt
Lindsey Graham is actually a funny, quick witted guy.
That’s an easy one.
The one that’s acceptable is anyone that isn’t currently nominated.
WHERE?!?!? Where was THIS Lindsey Graham for the last several years??
Just to state the obvious.
Schummer wants to transform the supreme court into a body of 7 unelected super legislators to circumvent the will of the people and change this country into a socialist sh1thole.
...and he would have got away with it too if it wasn’t for us meddling kids.
“This Graham never surfaced until after McCain Died.”
McCain dying has had many positive benefits. He is not missed.
Obviously McCain had some pretty serious shit on him to keep him in line for so long.
And incredibly, the GOP is uniting after a funeral where all that was reported on were the divisions.
He had his lips pressed tightly to McCain's a$$. McCain's “passing” has had more than one salutatory effect.
In McCain's blackmail closet, maybe.
You could challenge the Rats to come up with their list of judges to run on in 2020. Let voters take a look at that.
He had his lips pressed tightly to McCain's a$$. McCain's “passing” has had more than one salutatory effect. It's so dramatic a change, it leaves one wondering if McCain actually had something on him.
Wow. New nickname for Lindsey: Iron Man Graham.
I like GOP 2.0.
Based Lindsey Graham is a Democrat's worst nightmare.
If he is such a Blatant Partisan, against everything the Republicans do, he obviously can NOT do the peoples business as elected to do. WHY IS HE ON ANY COMMITTEE???
Schumer, Pelosi and Fienslime need to go home and stay. Mania is a sad thing but happens and affects others adversely.
