There is a theory going around leftist blogs about a way for the Senate Democrats to sneak through Merrick Garland as a Suprem Court Justice before the new Republican senators are sworn in. Unfortunately for them, their proposal is delusional.
David Waldman lays out at the uber-leftist Daily Kos that the Democrats could accomplish this on January 3, when the terms of the outgoing senators expire. Normally, Vice President Joe Biden would proceed to swear in the new class of incoming senators. However, Biden could instead slip through Garland using a parliamentary procedure.
