evidence: Romney said what happened to Garland "wasn't unfair because it was consistent with history, it was consistent with precedent." The senator has also said he will consider a new Supreme Court nominee before Election Day. [...] "The Merrick Garland decision wasn’t unfair & the notion that someone has to pay the price to make up for it is wrong," says a quote attributed to Romney in the post. [...] "I wasn't there. I think there's some perception on the part of some writers and others that gee, what happened with Merrick Garland was unfair. I don't agree with that. I don't know whether you think it was a good decision or not but it wasn't unfair because it was consistent with history, it was consistent with precedent. It was consistent with the Constitution. So the idea that the Merrick Garland decision was unfair and therefore it has to be made up by doing something, which also wouldn't make a lot of sense — which is saying to President Trump, ‘You can't get your nominee either’ — that just doesn't follow for me.
