time and effort trying to get Garland confirmed. Obama, Shumer, et.al. knew that after the election the senate would confirm Garland rather than risk a more liberal nominee by HRC. I think Obama was a great president, but he made a very bad mistake. He had the moral high ground. He should have been on TV everyday demanding that the senate perform it's constitutional duty to at least hold hearings on Garland. He should have publicly shamed McConnell for being the scoundrel that he is. Instead he just said to himself, "what the hell, Hillary will take care of it."
