Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday opened the door to continuing to confirm President Trump's judicial nominees in 2021, right up until when the next president, likely Joe Biden, is sworn in on Jan. 20.
"I think we got some district court judges that were Republican and Democrat. But, yeah, the committee will keep operating. I'll get back with you about more details about how far to go," he told reporters on a call when asked about whether the Senate could possibly continue to confirm judges in December and January, even if Trump loses. "We'll see what happens with the presidential race."
Graham said his first legislative priority is to "try to get a coronavirus stimulus package before January."
"I've been in the camp of going big," he said. "We need a big package, some Republicans don't agree. We have to see how the presidential race shapes up."

And they're worried we'll stack the courts?
