Agree on both. Think there's any chance Garland himself decides to withdraw to let HRC pick her own?
Obama likes Garland and this would be in very poor form. And I don't think Clinton would ask G to step aside. https://twitter.com/dataandpolitics/status/766305820434837504 …

If I were HRC, I would ask Obama to set a deadline of Oct 1 for confirmation vote. If not met, withdraw and leave to me.
