or '''merge/redirect''' to List of nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States). This is a , as reflected by the incomplete and misleading nature of the list. The list includes only nominations in the "last year of a president's last term" and omits nominations in the last year of ''any'' term (including a first term - which could of course be the "last term" for a president who isn't reelected), therefore shrinking the sample size (and distorting the numbers) for no real reason other than to push a political point of view. The list also excludes cases where the nomination occurred prior to the final year of a president's last term but Senate action continued into that last year &mdash; again, this shrinks the sample size and distorts the numbers. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2752287 Recent scholarship confirms this. To the extent that the statistics and political back-and-forth are important, they can be included in List of nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States, Supreme Court of the United States, or Merrick Garland Supreme Court nomination
