  1. +Darrel Sutterfield, liar. The Democrats did it for lower level appointments due to the GOP's unprecedented obstinance. The GOP had an obligation to let Garland have his hearing and chose not to anyways. The GOP had no right to fill this seat, this seat was Obama's to fill.

  2. +Darrel Sutterfield, it's in the constitution. The President nominates somebody and the Senate confirms them. This kind of apologistics is what's destroying this country. For close to 240 years that's how it's worked. The President would nominate somebody for the Supreme Court and the Senate would examine their record and credentials and give it an up or down vote. In no instance ever, has the Senate refused to do that much so they could steal the nomination for their party. Nor have they blanket refused to confirm anybody at all for such a prolonged period of time.
