Graham: I’d Vote for Hillary Clinton’s Liberal Scalia Replacement

STEPHANOPOULOS: “You’ve said you could get behind the idea of a consensus choice, what does that mean?”
GRAHAM: “Yeah. Somebody that — I just threw out Orrin Hatch’s name — George, I really don’t know who would he pick —“ [crosstalk]
STEPHANOPOULOS: “Republican Senator, that’s not going to happen.”
GRAHAM: “— or who he could pick that would bring the whole body together. You know, I voted for Sotomayor and Kagan because I thought they’re qualified. Here’s the Lindsey Graham approach, when an election is over, the president wins, they have a chance to send qualified nominees of their philosophy to the Senate and I will vote for them if they’re qualified even though I would not have chose them. But this president has abused power. The Democratic colleagues that I’ve worked with closely on other issues decided to change the rules in a historic fashion to pack the court and that abuse of power will have a consequence with me. But to conservatives, if Hillary Clinton wins the White House in 2017 and she sends over a qualified person who’s liberal, I’ll intend to vote for them the if they’re qualified. So, this election does have consequence.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, what are the odds of this vacancy is going to get filled?” 
GRAHAM: “Very little.” 
STEPHANOPOULOS: “Zero?” 
GRAHAM: “Very small. Yeah, very small.”
