what about Hatch saying Obama should pick Garland instead of Kagan? That's what I was thinking of

I'm sure he meant it. Hatch is old school guy who'd prefer to vote for all qualified nominees.

didn't seem to work for Garland

it wasn't about him. GOP made choice not to consider any nominee. Would have gone through if picked instead of Kagan.
