The Supremes & Repubs.

They feel strongly about this issue....
2016, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an e******n year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an e******n year.”
2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next e******n.”
2016, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”
2016, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”
2016, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”
2016, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, d******e confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their b****ts to elect our next president.”
2016, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this e******n year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”
2016, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”
2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the e******n. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”
2016, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a p**********l term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a p**********l e******n year.”
2016, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their v**es for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”
Mitch McConnell, March 2016: "The American people should have a voice in the se******n of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
2016, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an e******n year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an e******n year.”

When I first saw this list I noted that Lindsey Graham has his dated 2018, which I guess should have been 2016. Anyone know the date fact.

Wikipedia has the answer. While Graham held the no confirm a Supreme nomination in an e******n year, the articulation of what he said is dated 2018
