Why is everyone talking about Trump's court pick? That seat was already filled by Merrick Garland, Trump gets the next one.

-
Merrick Garland was nominated by President Obama, but never had a confirmation hearing.
-
yup, and that seat is his till he gets one.
-
Garland was not confirmed so the seat was never his. His nomination died as soon as Trump became president.
-
Seat is still his. Besides, Prez who lost pop vote hasn't nominated SC justice since 1889 no need to change tradition
-
Nomination was presented to the 114th Congress and President Obama did not resubmit it when the 115th Congress convened.
-
Senate failure to advise and consent means nomination carries over. New rule since this was unprecedented
-
12 out of 160 submitted nominations for the Supreme Court never received action on the floor of the Senate

He's replacing a staunch conservative. How much will it really change?

If he places this one and Ginsberg (83y/o) dies, it's all over. The sky will fall.
