Schumer and Graham were close at the time, had worked on immigration together. Graham was one of the few Republicans in the mix on advancing Obama's nominees at the time. He and people like Corker said they took a lot of bad votes that summer to try and save filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Graham says Schumer called him to tell him about gutting filibuster right before it happened in 2013. Graham says he told Schumer: "You're going to regret it." At the time, Republicans accused Democrats of packing the D.C. Circuit when Obama and Reid tried to fill vacancies — PolitiTweet.org

For example, in July Republicans like Graham advanced Gina McCarthy's EPA nomination over filibuster (60-vote threshold), but voted against her final confirmation at simple majority. This all fell apart on Oct. 31 when GOP rejected Mel Watt for FHFA and Millett for DC Circuit — PolitiTweet.org
