Wednesday marked a bleak achievement for Merrick Garland.
He passed Louis Brandeis as the Supreme Court nominee with the longest wait for a Senate hearing.
And while Brandeis' saga ended with his 1916 confirmation Garland's prospects remain, at best, unclear.
Republicans who control the Senate — currently
on summer break — still refuse to grant Garland a hearing, saying it
should be up to President Obama's successor to pick a replacement for
Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February.
