December 19, 2001 The American Prospect listed Merrick Garland as a “First Tier” pick for SCOTUS should Al Gore be President

Well its not really that important because the Senate is not even going to hold confirmation hearings on the guy. Its just Barky trying to stir up the chit.

If Conservatives were smart.....they would start a “too many Jews” thing over at DU.

Good hair (for his age) and of course Harvard Law.

THE BIG DISQUALIFIER FOR ME:

Garland is considered anti-Second Amendment.

As the National Review noted last week: “Back in 2007, Judge Garland voted to undo a D.C. Circuit court decision striking down one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation” and voted “to uphold an illegal Clinton-era regulation that created an improvised gun registration requirement.” Obama will use his pick to pursue a gun control agenda.

He picked a guy 61?

I already know enough. He was nominated by Obama.

Sounds like a pharmacy company.

Tied at the hip to Jamie Gorelick.

He passes the religious test now required for the Supreme Court. He isn’t a Protestant.

BORK, BORK, BORK, BORK him!!!

Garland went to Harvard.

The prosecution rests.

I guess Obama decided to play nice with Republicans, by his standards anyway. Democrat Underground and the ACLU don’t like Garland and NOW is notably lukewarm. Still, I’m pleasantly surprised that McConnell is standing firm.
