Republicans are hoping their party&#8217;s candidate wins the presidency and can make the appointment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A Supreme Court appointment requires Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Voicing support for holding Garland hearings during the primary season, political experts say, could enrage conservatives already upset over the prospect of Obama making a third lifetime appointment to the nine-member court, which could give the bench a liberal tilt for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That anger could bolster primary candidates challenging incumbent Republicans from the right or encourage new challengers to come forward.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Political science professor Sheldon Goldman of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who has tracked Supreme Court nominations since the 1960s, said of the Garland fight: &#8220;The real obstacle is getting over the primaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The danger of straying from McConnell&#8217;s blockade was illustrated when Kansas Republican Jerry Moran last month backed hearings on Garland but reversed course after rumblings of a right-wing challenge materializing in Moran&#8217;s Aug. 2 primary.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Other key battlegrounds for Senate Republicans include Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">New Hampshire&#8217;s Kelly Ayotte is viewed as one of the most vulnerable Senate Republican incumbents. Ayotte will meet with Garland but said she wants the Senate to wait until after November&#8217;s elections to act on the nomination.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Arizona Senator John McCain, facing at least two opponents in his Aug. 30 Republican primary, downplayed the political difficulties presented by Garland&#8217;s nomination. He said when he was home during the recent Senate recess, he heard few complaints. Of his constituents, McCain said, &#8220;They would ask. I would explain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Obama and fellow Democrats in the Senate continue to press Republicans to allow hearings by summer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;So what you have here is, I think, a circumstance in which those (Republicans) in the Senate have decided that &#8216;placating our base&#8217; is more important than upholding their constitutional and institutional roles in our democracy in a way that is dangerous,&#8221; Obama said in Chicago on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some Democrats think McConnell&#8217;s gambit gives them a campaign issue for the elections.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dick Durbin, the Senate&#8217;s No. 2 Democrat, said, &#8220;If there was any question about obstruction in the United States Senate, what&#8217;s happening with the vacancy on the Supreme Court is Exhibit A of Republican obstructionism.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Barack Obama is maintaining pressure on the Senate to approve his Supreme Court nominee, but the need for Republican U.S. senators seeking re-election to keep conservative voters happy before primary elections in the coming months is working against him.
