Interesting; you don't think the left will have a "we can do better" view, let's wait until 2017?
I'm still expecting Garland confirmation in lame duck if Dems will be retaking Senate.https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/790565331102232577 …

@DavidLat Here's why I think@EdWhelanEPPC is wrong and Judge Garland gets confirmed in lame duck IF Democrats take Senate /1 -
First, Obama will be loyal to Garland and not withdraw nomination and Garland won't withdraw unless Clinton asks. Clinton won't ask /2
-
despite pressure from the left to withdraw Garland for younger and more liberal candidate. Getting Garland out of way during lame duck /3
-
clears her first 100-day agenda without a nasty Supreme Court fight that eats other things. RBG has signaled she and/or Breyer will /4
-
leave the court while Dems still control Senate (before 2017). This means she can get 1 or 2 more liberal Justices on Court and/or /5
-
make it a big issue in the midterms, in the hopes of turning about Dem turnout problem in the midterms /6
-
With Garland done in lame duck, Clinton has very good chance of 1, and some chance of 2, liberal appts before 2018 elections 7/7 <end>
