Mitch McConnell famously stalled Merrick Garland’s confirmation to the Supreme Court to replace Antonin Scalia during the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency.

The gig eventually went to Neil Gorsuch.

Now, Garland is set to become attorney general in Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, with great support from…McConnell.

From The Hill:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told Politico Tuesday he will back Merrick Garland’s nomination for attorney general.
