By Obama. They threw a guy out there that had no chance of being elected and he was made a pawn by the Democrats.

It's true. He never had a chance of being confirmed.

Wrong, he was railroaded by the Republicans. Its funny how narratives change based on who's in the office. The republican party is just full of hypocrites.

Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate... Unfortunately for Merrick, Obama failed to seek the advice of the Senate

It was a political gamble to make the Republicans pay for opposing a "moderate" judge. It was also to allay fears of Clinton appointing another Ginsburg. He lost.

I do feel bad for him. Obama knew what was going to happen with the Democrats not having control of the Senate and put him up anyway for political posturing for Hillary's campaign. Pretty unfair to put him through that for almost a year

He never had the votes to be confirmed. It’s just a dead horse the Dems like to beat.

Thanks Harry!

I mean yeah......Garland should have known that he didn't have the votes so why put yourself out there? I guess he can say he was nominated but its kind of a bad look i/m/o.
The Republicans knew they had the votes. If they didn't no way ACB gets confirmed. None. Nada.

His nomination was a study in leverage. And the key to leverage is this: what good is it if you don’t use it?

Harry Reid led the screw job.
McConnell begged him. “Please don’t break the rules of the Senate to change the rules of the Senate. If you do you will come to regret it. And you may regret it sooner than you think”.
All of this divisiveness is due to the grifter actions that are inherent in the democrat party.

The DEMs celebrated Scalia's death then tried to put the Senators on the hot-seat by rushing thru a sure to be defeated Lib in the final half of the year with an known opposition Senate. They really didn't care if HE got approved or not = they just hoped to get enough vulnerable GOP senators to vote so that they could campaign against them on it.
The history of SCOTUS nominees is solid - thruout our history - Senate/WH in same party = 90% confirmation. Senate/WH is opposite control = 90% defeated. This Senate just did what practically all others have done. The only thing McConnell did was to not subject the country to a known outcome for use by politicians who care not a whit for the Constitution in the first place.

It was actually a gamble. They baited the Republicans to maybe seat a guy who was pretty middle of the road, except on guns.
Mitch McConnell - sometimes heroes don't wear capes. Sometimes, they look like cocaine fueled turtles.

Garland actually got screwed by Notorious RBG, who should have retired when Obama was president. She gambled, but the Democrats lost.
