@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

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

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>

Lame duck senate will rush to confirm Garland once the Senate is Dem for fear of a younger/leftier candidate in January.
