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.

Obama was a lame duck. Different situation. And yes, Obama hung him out to dry.

Do you think if the senate was democratic controlled today that they would approve ACB?

Sure, he was railroaded, which is exactly what Democrats have tried to do with now 3 Trump appointees. The big difference is the Republicans have the power to get their people in regardless. The Democrats didn't. Yes, it's one big political game, but it's one that the Democrats can't win. They know it, so they, instead, scream hypocrites when they would do the same exact thing were the roles reversed. They just don't like the rules when they don't provide them their desired results, and rules mind you that they implemented.

Democrats throw massive fits over the smallest things they perceive to be a loss, yet they just sort of let this go by with barely a whimper. That seems weird if any of them thought it was such an awful "railroading."

In other words, Obama and the rest of the democrats knew exactly what was going on (it would have never been Garland if they didn't), and were all but okay with it, knowing Hillary would appoint who they really wanted in a few months.

Railroaded how, exactly? Surely you know the difference between a nomination and a confirmation. A President doesn't just get to appoint a judge to the SCOTUS. Republicans could have done the whole dog and pony show with the hearings, and guess what..
Garland would have still be denied a seat on the bench.

Obama knew he would not be confirmed but got all he could out of it by bringing it up knowing the senate would not bring it for vote. Therefore making the republican senate look bad which he accomplished. Now they are using it again..

Who changed the rule on Senate confirmation on judges? It used to be 60 and now it’s 50 (cloture anyway). McConnel warned the Democrats that would regret making those changes when the republicans gained power but the dims did it anyway. Their chickens have come home to roost.

Funny how the MSM never brings that up when talking about Amy getting “pushed through.”

You should cry about the rules rather than play by them.

Was Merrick Garland falsely accused of sexual assault and gang rape? Go suck a shotgun.

Horse shite! If we'd have had a Dem. President and a Dem. Senate, we'd be in the exact same place after RBG died.

Doesn't matter the about the Party, if you have the Presidency and the Senate then you get to fill the SCOTUS seat regardless of how close we are to an election.

Whoever controls the Senate gets the say.
Republicans didn't want an Obama nominee.
Perfectly within their legal responsibility.
You are just butthurt because Dems didn't get their way.

Nothing to do with a narrative. I would expect Dems to do the same thing if the tables were turned.
