And whatever one may think of that situation, it shouldn't affect one's view on this current matter which is that Trump is Constitutionally obligated to discharge his Presidential duties up until the last second of his current term. Meaning he's obligated to fill this vacancy.
1. Kudos for even attempting the intellectual honesty that’s rare here.
2. Did Turtle and Obama not have those same obligations to fulfill their constitutional roles for Garland?

I actually addressed that issue in another thread. Honestly, I can't avoid saying that I'm conflicted about that. Obviously the glaring difference is involvement of a lame duck President, but I'm still not settled about it. Not at all. Was there some other precedent to that particular end that they relied upon?

No. Turtle had the votes/control to wait the next election out. That’s the difference between a Republican controlled senate and democrat controlled senate.
