[See NewsBusters for more.] Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos, Monday, badgered Senator Lindsey Graham on the need to get a quick replacement for Antonin Scalia. An incredulous Stephanopoulos wondered, “Your leader, Mitch McConnell, said flatly, President Obama should not have a chance to fill this vacancy. Does that mean the President's choice won't even get a hearing?”  Trying another tactic, the journalist pressed, “You've said you could get behind the idea of a consensus choice. What does that mean?” After Graham threw out Senator Orrin Hatch as a possible replacement, Stephanopoulos scoffed, “A Republican senator? That's not going to happen.”
