Republicans Make History in Obstructing Merrick Garland for Supreme Court

from https://rewire.news/article/2016/07/20/republicans-history-obstructing-garland-supreme-court/

"The refusal to vote on Garland's nomination is the most visible example of the conservatives' drive to maintain control over the federal courts, but it's hardly their most blatant display of sheer partisanship. I'm guessing that is yet to come when, should they lose the presidential election, Senate Republicans face the choice of quickly confirming Garland or continuing their stand-off indefinitely. And given what we've seen of the election cycle so far, do we really think Senate Republicans are going to suddenly grow up and do their jobs? I hate to say it, folks, but Merrick Garland isn't getting confirmed anytime soon."
