They are well aware that even if that happened none of the people who vote for them will remember come election time, and things are so rigged 90% + will be back anyway.
What I find interesting is that as recently as last week, Senator Hatch was heaping praise on Garland and has referred to him as a consensus nominee. Now, he has said he won't even meet with him. He said that he shouldn't be appointed in such a toxic environment and that Hatch doesn't like the political back and forth.
To me, putting someone like Garland on the bench right now is absolutely perfect for this political environment. It shows that the parties can put aside childishness and actually put someone on the bench who not only deserves to be there but would be of a great benefit to the SCOTUS.
I've been generally frustrated with the state of politics in this country for some time, but this situation has me genuinely pissed off.
