    I submit this would’ve been true in 2016 too, had McConnell not prevented the holding of any votes.https://twitter.com/bresreports/status/1363967021868810242 …

    .@JohnCornyn is going to vote for Merrick Garland, as is @ChuckGrassley. The only issue will be how many Rs vote for Garland

        It would've been crazy had Trump nominated Garland to AG in 2016 but crazier things have and did happen!

        That was President Obama's plan: nominate someone they liked. He just underestimated the level of McConnell's cynicism.

        As I recall, Grassley spoke about hearings, but then McConnell shut that down.

        Whole reason McConnell blockaded Garland was to give cover to those who didn’t want to flip SCOTUS liberal, but woulda felt compelled by principle or politics to approve the nom in committee (Graham/Flake) and on floor (Kirk, Collins, Murkowski). Shut it down at start > middle.

        Well yeah but in the past they would hold a vote on whether to postpone nominations indefinitely. McConnell seized the power to do it unilaterally in Garland’s case, I believe.

        Probably not. Dems had 46 seats. They would've needed 4 GOP votes. Hard to see how 4 GOP Senators would've voted to send over the Supreme Court Majority? I can get to 3 but hard to see Lisa Murkowski signing up for that.
