WASHINGTON U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham will join the ranks of his GOP colleagues who have agreed to meet with Merrick Garland even though the South Carolina Republican remains opposed to confirming President Barack Obamas nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Graham will meet with Garland as a courtesy, Grahams spokesman, Kevin Bishop, confirmed with The Post and Courier.
He continues to believe the next president should pick the next nominee for the Supreme Court, said Bishop, adding that the meeting has not yet been scheduled.

Graham, a member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, quickly joined that chorus, saying there was nothing the White House could do to compel him to confront his party leadership and demand that lawmakers advance Garlands nomination. Graham also said at the time he would not bother meeting with Garland since there was nothing Garland could say to change his mind.
