And even then, that wouldn't convince many of the people who are presently blind.

Some thought he was too right-wing, but probably only in contrast to the strongly left-wing appointment they would prefer.
That was a compromise with the Republican Senate and it might well have worked if McConnell hadn't shut the door.
Garland was a political choice!

Obama had the ability to withdraw Garland and nominate a more conservative candidate. He didn't.

Why should Obama bow and scrape to the Republicans, just to get a conservative justice either way?
Garland was close enough to the center. Take it or leave it. And remember the election was closely contested. McConnell's gamble could easily have gone wrong. Needless to say, I would prefer a new Justice further left than Garland.

I don't have any data offhand, but I'm sure they don't normally facilitate the transfer of 11 million dollars in a few hours normally, regardless of destination.

McConnell has already confirmed they're gonna have a vote when Trump picks someone.

It seems like Romney already retracted his opposition to the move and I imagine Collins and co. will follow suit. A 6-3/5-4 (depending on how you view Roberts) court is a tempting thing even for ardent anti-Trump Republicans.

Collins will lose re-election if she does. Republicans need to grow a pair and tell McConnell he’s a hypocrite.

Trump back at it again with the racism and accusing his opponent of being anti American. But lemme guess, calling his fans racist is somehow not Kosher.
It's xenophobic, but not racist.
