“The process is that we’re going to have a hearing — we had one in 2006 when we did this on [George W.] Bush’s watch,” Sen. Lindsey Graham told radio host Sean Hannity April 9.

Graham also suggested that the Senate Judiciary Committee could wrap up its review of the massive bill in days, rather than weeks.

Sen. John McCain, Graham’s junior partner, also told reporters April 9 that only one hearing was needed.
