"The Democrats are mad because Obama's choice did not get confirmed--who happened to be better qualified than the two "diversity" choices Obama made earlier (Latina, lesbian)"

I see that and shudder, knowing that we truly dodged a bullet. Obama played a high stakes game of chicken, hoping the Senate might prefer Garland to anything Hillary might offer up... with the betting being at the time that she was going to win, of course.

That was close.

Garland would have given the Court a solid 5 vote bloc of leftists until Ruth Bader Ginsburg departs from the scene. The only good point was that he was somewhat older than some of the other people Obama could have picked. For once the Republicans did not cave.
