Garland is most likely a good team player in the national security state, and is being rewarded for that. The GOP might be more willing to accept him on those grounds.
Shortly before he was executed, the FBI revealed that it had withheld thousands of pages of documents on McVeigh from the defense. This should have led to his conviction being overturned, but of course it didn't.
Funny how the GOP was warning any potential nominee that their career might be wrecked by a bloody confirmation fight, at the same time they were saying they wouldn't even give him a hearing or a vote. Or even meet with the nominee. Can't have both scenarios, folks. But then the GOP is the reality-free zone today.
