in blocking Merrick Garland by employing a political tactic, claiming that presidents in their final year of a presidency had no right to appoint a justice to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. His claim appears no where in the Constitution.

There were Republican senators who respected Garland and would have found it difficult to not vote to approve him. McConnell needed prevent a vote and that is why he made his false claim.

Another reason Trump had the opportunity to nominate grouch to the Supreme Court is because McConnell was successful in keeping the facts about Russian interference from the American electorate.

McConnell may be a worse person than any Democratic office holder, and almost totally ant-democracy in his objectives but he appears to be a highly skillful politician.
