“After the treatment of Justice Kavanaugh, I now have a different view of the judicial-confirmation process… It’s clear there is one set of rules for a Republican president and one set of rules for a Democrat president,” writes Graham.
“Therefore I think it is important that we proceed expeditiously to process any nomination made by President Trump to fill this vacancy,” he added.

BREAKING NOW: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Passes Away at the Age of 87
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away Friday at the age of 87.
The liberal leader was nominated to the bench by President Bill Clinton back in 1993.
“Her first major opinion as a justice came in 1996 when she wrote the majority decision in United States v. Virginia. The ruling struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s 157-year-old policy of male-only admissions as unconstitutional, and set a stricter legal standard for government action that treats men and women differently,” reports The Hill.
