The Constitution said that the appointment required the advice and consent of the Senate. It had nothing to do with him "trying" or being too "weak", it is called following the law. Trump doesn't do that, and the court rulings are showing that his power to rule via EO is not going to be allowed. The Senate deliberately did not go into recess to avoid Obama having the power to appoint Garland via a recess appointment. McConnell is more to blame for the dysfunction of Congress and the misuse of the Senate than anyone else.
