These are the "two events" that Graham says make it OK for him to do the complete reverse of what he said he'd do:
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.
Harry Reid changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees dealing out the minority.
...after the Republicans decided they would block every one of Obama’s judicial nominees indefinitely. And that rule change was in 2013, long before Graham’s “Use my words against me” quote. Furthermore,
The rule change does not apply to Supreme Court nominees, who are still subject to a 60-vote filibuster threshold, or to legislation.
