That said, Garland was nominated by a sitting president. He should have had a hearing, and Trump would have been a better man to nominate him, even if the Republicans shot him down in the first week. It was wrong, AND sets a very bad precedent, to hold a nominee for nearly 1 whole year basically because you can.

Could you have imagined if Scaila would have criticized Obama as a nominee for President like Ginsburg did?
Funny, didn't hear liberals say a peep about this when it happened several months ago.
