But clearly it's not going to be looking like hypocrites that will stop them. You literally cited Lindsay Graham who played a prominent role in arguing for the necessity of the Clinton impeachment and then played dumb for Trump. That was less than a year ago.

The Senate has to approve. Obama could have just seated Garland if he wasn't such a do-gooder because it isn't explicit what "advise and consent" means, and there's some loophole that if Congress is out, the Executive can just appoint without it. But here we are.
The only thing that's going to keep the wolves at bay here is the voter. Nothing and everything is legal if people vote for it. And there's a ton of calculation going on right now in the cloak rooms.
