If the Senate had been controlled by Democrats they may or may not have confirmed him. In the end 22 of the 44 Democrats voted to confirm Roberts. To me, that shows they were willing to listen and vote for someone they felt was qualified. The Republicans didn't even give Garland the opportunity to speak for himself or face a vote.
