WASHINGTON ― There’s a surreal aspect to this week’s Senate confirmation fight over Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch: The more reasons Republicans give for why he deserves a vote, the more they reinforce how badly they treated President Barack Obama’s pick for the court, Merrick Garland. “When you win the White House, you have the ability to appoint people to the Supreme Court,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday. These are all points being made, without irony, by the same senators who opposed even giving a hearing to Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. It’s easy enough to imagine; just swap in “Garland” for “Gorsuch” as GOP senators explain why Trump’s nominee deserves fair treatment. A vote!” Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said Wednesday.
