The way I see it is that obama nominated Merrick Garland. Just because the senate didn't approve doesn't mean a precedent was set. But he still nominated someone, and had the senate been blue he would've gotten it approved.

Democrats have been assholes about SCOTUS seats for decades. Let's never forget that Joe Biden himself was in charge of the abomination that was the Senate hearings over Robert Bork.
