If this occurs, Garland is likely to step aside in deference to Hillary's upcoming Presidency and Hillary will appoint a far more liberal justice. The GOP, however, has been very loud about blocking Obama's nominee and are now stuck between a rock and a hard place (giving Garland a hearing or giving Hillary a more liberal nominee). Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of clowns.
A bunch of GOP Senators are already breaking ranks with McConnell.

When will Garland be qualified? Very soon, I hope.
