When President Obama first nominated Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Senate Republicans were united in their wall of opposition — no meetings, no hearing, no vote.
And while Garland’s path remains a very uphill battle, some Republicans are starting to shift their tone.
Two weeks into the nomination fight, 16 Republican senators now say they will meet with Garland — over 25 percent of the GOP caucus — according to a running count by NBC News.

The Rino ‘RATS are coming out of the closet. Americans need to be ready.
16 Republicans? They probably don’t want the off chance that Trump, Cruz or Bernie for that matter get to make the nomination.
And the clueless GOPe still don’t understand why they are in a death-spiral. Here’s your sign. . . dopes.
Plus the word republican means almost nothing to me after the last congress election. They did nothing.
uniparty fits.
Dam disgraces, meeting with him because they are from blue states.
The country be damned.
imaginably, they have all been honey-potted by DC madams working for Soros or whoever by now.
no way
Why bother pretending there are two parties?
Soros is apparently buying one at a time.
This IS the MIDDLE FINGER to voters!!! This IS business as usual WE ARE THE RULERS!!! WE dare you voters to go against us and what we wish!!!!

No use saying “both” when they clearly are one.

Here is a link to my previous post that mentions the nominee's progressive rulings. He has a history: Link.

Toughy, crappy. No hearings. Let the dems feel how they deal with us.
Bet my do nothing Senators are on the list, ran as Conservative Republicans, haven’t seen any conservative moves yet. I am totally disgusted with them and will never vote for them again.
These guys just want to “make a great deal “ for Supreme Court nominee.
Why are FReepers upset about that ? Don’t they just want great deals made, and declare that winning ? And of course those “ great deals “ have to be made with Democrats.
I’m shocked.

Shocked that it is only 1/4 of them.
I figured that by now there would only be two holdouts (and perhaps two no-shows, what with Cruz and Rubio busy being Cruz and Rubio).
