She calls them out for their historic intransigence. Never before has it taken this long to confirm a SCOTUS pick.
"Hillary Clinton on Monday will make an old foe the center of a new battle."
"In a speech about the Supreme Court that Clinton is scheduled to deliver at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the Democratic front-runner is expected to single out Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and challenge him to hold hearings on the nomination of Merrick Garland to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated last month by the death of Antonin Scalia, according to a campaign official."
"Clinton has spoken out forcefully against the Republicans’ intransigence to hold nominating hearings, accusing the GOP of implicit racism in ignoring President Barack Obama's nominee, and noting that it has never taken the Senate more than 125 days to vote on a Supreme Court nomination.

"Ironically, this obstruction makes it most likely that she will end up picking Antonin Scalia's responses. To be sure, Hillary is happy to single out Chuck Grassley who has lead the Senate investigation into her emails. When's he going to investigate Colin Powell's private emails while at State?"

"Senate Democrats — who are making pressure for a hearing a centerpiece of their strategy to retake the Senate in November — lauded Clinton’s push from the campaign trail. And New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is leading the strategy, noted it also makes for good politics as Clinton tries to pivot to a general election while still fighting off a heated challenge from Bernie Sanders."
“It’s really smart of Hillary Clinton to put this issue front and center,” Schumer told POLITICO in a statement. “This issue unites Democrats and excites our base, while also appealing to independents and Republicans.”
"Clinton has expressed support for Garland, a centrist appeals court judge, but has not said whether he fits her own criteria for a Supreme Court nominee — and whether she would commit to reappointing the 63-year-old if GOP Senate leaders succeed in blocking him for the next year. An aide told POLITICO the campaign is not entertaining the premise that Republicans could succeed in blocking Garland, as they have promised to do."

If the GOP believes that there is some legal basis why they can't confirm SJC in the last year, they should take a commensurate pay cut in the last year.
