He should withdraw the Supreme Court nomination of Garland by mid September and throw Republicans' words back at them.
"I did my job. Nominated this qualified man. Republicans refused to even hold a hearing saying the next pres should be the one appointing the next justice. I have given Republicans a chance to do their jobs but they have been politicizing this for all these months and they refused to even give him a hearing hoping a Republican to win the White House appoint the next justice. Thus, I withdraw the nomination of Justice Garland, as to allow the next President of the United States, to appoint the next Supreme Court justice." And Hillary should nominate, a young, reliably liberal justice who could shape the court for decades. A newly elected Democratic Senate would swiftly confirm this justice.
