Reminder when dealing with “but muh Merrick Garland” fags, tell them he was blocked using the “Biden Rule.” Something similar occurred in the 90s when Creepy Uncle Joe was Senate Majority leader and he blocked the vote until after the Presidential election, therefore setting precedence. Like with the “nuclear option” it's another case of democrats fucking themselves over in the long run. Obama also could have appointed Garland anytime during a Senate recess with out a vote and there is nothing Republicans could have done about it. Eisenhower put all his SC justices on the court this way, and Trump can do the same if he really wants to.

The DNC also calculated that not seating Garland until after Hillary won would be good politics and help voter turn out, as they never thought she would lose. If they want to blame anyone for not seating Poo-in-the-loo Garland, blame Biden and Obama.
