Actually, Garland was a republican's dream comparatively. He was as conservative a choice that Obama could make. I wasn't actually in favor of Garland as a pick - but what the GOPers did was unprecedented - that's what makes the current protest of brett justifiable.

8 vs 26 isn't quite unprecedented.

LOL - ok vers... Having to go back to Hayes to cite precedent, nice try. But even in that case Matthews still got appointed by Garfield.

Yeah, sorry. The GOPers that refused to hear Garland have no legs to stand on.

Yep - but how many didn't even get a vote? That's the stat I'm referring to.

That's what the GOPers did to Garland.

But I'm your huckleberry....

So I hereby stand corrected - nearly unprecedented in the history of the US.

BUT - Unprecedented in this century.
