Garland has received a lot of praise from Republicans for years. But when Obama nominated him for the Supreme Court, the Republicans refused to even grant him a hearing. When Republicans thought they were sure to win they insisted that a judge should not be confirmed until after the people choose the next president. When those chances had appeared to evaporate however, Republicans quickly did an about face and attempted to justify not granting any supreme court hearings and leaving Scalia's seat vacant even after the American people choose a new president, leaving a vacancy for years if need be.
Now that Trump has won though, will they do an about face again? And if they do decide to fill the vacancy, will they give Garland a chance on account of his praise on numerous occasions from the Republican party?
