“Didn’t get a hearing” is just recognizing that MM realized Rs would look terrible in that event. Obama called Hatch’s bluff and nominated whim Hatch described as a perfect moderate, Garland. Best not to let country see that.
1897-1967 period also saw nearly no confirmation fights where the WH & SEN were in opposite party hands, though you do have Brennan's recess appointment & Hoover picking Cardozo. Those were actual aisle-crossing nominations.
