Supreme Court

I kind of hope President Obama withdraws the nomination of Merrick Garland the day after the election, if Clinton wins.  Garland was a peace offering, a compromise candidate, and much better for the Republicans than they'd get from President Clinton.  He shouldn't be left on the table for the Republicans to grab if they lose the Presidential election.

I don't think their foot dragging should then be rewarded.  If they make the country wait an entire year with a hamstrung Supreme Court, then they should live with that decision.  Their intention is to wait and hope a Republican takes the White House.  If they continue to bank on Trump, the gamble should not be a zero cost gambit for them the result should be being forced to hold hearings on much less centrist jurists...
