I think this could happen. Since there is no stopping confirmation, McConnel won't waste the opportunity to show the contrast between the GOP and the Dems in confirmation hearings. And before some of you scream about Garland - there were no hearings so no opportunities for GOP Senators to act like total asses like the Dems did with Kavanaugh and Barret.

LOL, so becuase there were no hearings you don't think the GOP didn't act like assholes about Garland, is that right? JHC!

Went over your head head, huh? Please list stupid unsubstantiated attacks by GOP Senators on Garland. Heck please list any attacks on Garland even if not stupid - (They weren't done due to McConnel shelving his nomination). You may say McConnel shelving the nomination was an asshole thing to do but it really wasn't an attack on Garland - more of one on Obama.

So, I asked if you could provide a list of attacks on Garland when he was nominated (stupid or otherwise) and this was your response. I'll take that as a concession on your part. Now that that is out of the way we will have hearings on Biden's nominee and there will be stupid attacks but it is still an opportunity for McConnel to show a difference in how the GOP approaches a nominee and how the Dems did. He can do this by marginalizing those GOP Senators that behave poorly during the process which would be a marked contrast to how the Dem Senators acted in Kavanaugh's (especially his) and Barret's hearings. Unlike the Dems, I just don't see the utility in getting shit all over yourself when you can't stop the nomination.

Didn’t the Republicans refuse to conduct the hearing to even advance to the vote part? How could they attack him if they wouldn’t even hold the hearings?

There is no point in attacking if your strategy is that the nominee will never see a vote? Don’t actvlike the GOP is not into the dirty laundry man. Especially in that circumstance.
