Lindsey Graham forced to face flip-flop on SCOTUS nominations by Austin-based billboard campaign

COLUMBIA, SC, Oct. 19 - This weekend, Supreme Billboards, a Super PAC launched by a group of citizens in Austin, Texas in response to the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and President Trump's subsequent nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, launched a billboard in Columbia, South Carolina highlighting a statement from Senator Lindsey Graham in 2018 regarding the question of appointing a Supreme Court nominee during Trump's final term.

The group is publishing billboards in the home states of 29 Republican senators that show direct quotes made by senators who, within the past four years, have clearly articulated their conviction that Supreme Court appointments should not be made during an election year. In 2016, with 9 months remaining in President Barack Obama's final term, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to hold hearings on the president's SCOTUS nominee as a matter of principle. Now, with 2 weeks to go before the November general election, many of those senators' principles seem to have flown the coop. Supreme Billboards is encouraging citizens to take action by visiting their website at www.supremebillboards.com, and by voting as early and as safely as possible in the general election.
