Let’s hope Donald Trump doesn’t reward Lindsey Graham here.

The president-elect will likely enter office with an open seat on the court after Republicans refused to hold hearings for President Barack Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, to replace the late Antonin Scalia.

Graham urged his Democratic colleagues not to obstruct the process for Trump, reported WYFF-TV.

“I’m here to tell my Democratic colleagues that I voted for Obama’s nominees,” Graham said. “I expect them to give Trump’s nominees a fair shake. He won this election. He will pick a conservative. I would put Ted Cruz on that list.”

Trump floated the idea of nominating Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Cruz’s closest friend in the Senate, just hours before the Texas Republican offered a surprise endorsement of his bitter primary rival.
