What's the endgame with the GOP vs Garland?


May 9, 2016, 10:44 AM

What's the point of the GOP continuing to block Merrick Garland? Is it simply to have another wedge issue, to try and protect the senate majority?

There's no way they'll see a better option from either presumptive nominee... right?

Block unless Hilary is nominated in November.

Then they'll quickly confirm him before Hilary takes office. Jeff Flake from Arizona said as much during his Meet The Press interview on Sunday.

So, he's gambling on a Trump victory in November

and a conservative appointee, rather than a well-established moderate? Seems like a significant gamble, based on Trump's social positions.

Can Obama withdraw the nomination if Clinton wins?

If not, then the Republicans have nothing lose by waiting 'til November, from their perspective.
