They used the excuse of the upcoming election.
FWIW, I've always said Garland should have gotten a vote, just as I think Coney should. But I was just pointing out that the Dems are the one that made the bed that they now fight to lie in.
Now ask yourself why will Coney only need a simple majority to get nominated.
