It’s a strategy that has historically worked well for the GOP, particularly at times when voters are on edge about the country’s safety, as many are now. He faces Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth in the November election. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File) (AP)

The GOP's Garland disaster

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, center, followed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., left, and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., rear, leave a closed meeting in the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2016. Senate Republicans, most notably Senator McConnell, are facing a high-stakes political showdown with President Barack Obama sparked by the recent death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Republicans controlling the Senate — which must confirm any Obama appointee before the individual is seated on the court — say that the decision is too important to be determined by a lame-duck president.

In this Feb. 10, 2016, photo, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. Grassley has a major say on whether President Barack Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court even gets a hearing. In the past week, Grassley, who is seeking a seventh term, has delivered a muddled message about the fate of any pick. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) (AP)

Chuck Grassley wants it all

John Thune, R-S.D., and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., following a closed-door policy meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Before President Barack Obama has chosen a nominee, nearly all the Senate’s majority Republicans seem dug in against even meeting that person. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) (AP)
