Any Update on SCOTUS Nominee Merrick Garland?
Remember Judge Garland, nominated in March by President Obama to fill the vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court? Here’s what he’s been up to while waiting all summer for a vote from the GOP-led Senate.
After more than 100 days, the Supreme Court still needs its 9th judge, but the Senate GOP refuses to do its job and consider Judge Garland.

FACT: Garland has most federal judiciary experience of any nom in history. He's now also waited longer for a vote than any nom in history.
