Looks like Mcconnell says no
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday the Senate will not consider President Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
Obama did it "not with the intent of seeing the nominee confirmed, but in order to politicize it for the purpose of the election," the Kentucky Republican said.
He also said the Senate will "revisit" the matter when the next president nominates someone, adding that the people should have a say in who fills the currently vacant seat. "The American people may well elect a president who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next president may also nominate somebody very different," McConnell said.

This is going to backfire. This will get tabled and Mitch McConnell will have to sit for Obama's SCOTUS confirmation hearings after President Hillary nominates him.

Yeah pretty slick move by Obama. I honestly don't even think it's a big deal. The nullification movement is rapidly gaining ground, so before long it's not going to matter what the SC writes opinion on.

Garland Shouldn’t Be Considered After Election, McConnell Says
http://www.nytimes.c.....nnell.html
I hate Hillary, but I don't like this guy either
his whole "The principle is the American people are choosing their next president, and their next president should pick this Supreme Court nominee.”
is just nonsense
he talks about the will of the people while at the very same time the GOP leadership does all they can to thwart the nomination of Trump
he talks about the will of the people but he says Republicans in senate won't vote for Garland no matter who is elected President
so which is it ?
McConnell believes the people choose the president and the president they choose picks the supreme court nominee ?
or
McConnell dismissed the possibility of Republicans considering Garland after the November election, even if a Democrat were elected president ?
politicians talking out of both sides of their mouth
