Senate Judiciary Cmte Chair Graham after Barrett vote: "The Cmte did the right thing. The judge deserved a vote up or down. Democrats chose to participate in the hearings, asked her hard questions. I think they owed it to her to show up today and vote her yes or no."
Graham on Judiciary Cmte Democrats boycott and Barrett cmte vote: "They made a decision. I made a decision. It'd be wrong to deny Judge Barrett a chance to be confirmed on the floor of the United States Senate." c-span.org/video/?477247-…
Graham (R-SC):"If you're a Democrat,the people who want to pack the court will come after you if you say no. Senator Feinstein's a wonderful person, a progressive Senator who for decades been supportive of the pro-choice cause. She dared hug me and looks what's happening to her."

Schumer outside US Capitol: "I am here to stand with my colleagues on the Judiciary Cmte who are boycotting today's cmte markup on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court."
Schumer: "This is not a decision the members have taken lightly, but a Republican majority has left us no choice. We are boycotting this illegitimate hearing."
Schumer: "Chairman Graham has broken the rules of the cmte to move forward with a vote on Judge Barrett anyway. The rules require 2 members of the minority to be present to vote anyone out of cmte, but Chairman Graham just steamrolled over them."
