After President Barack Obama’s nomination of liberal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to replace pro-life Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, Hillary Clointon immediately came out in favor of his nomination and demanded the Senate vote on him.
Now, in a post on Clinton’s web site, a Hillary campaign staffer expanded on the reasons for her supporting Garland — saying “legal abortion is at take.”
SIGN THE PETITION: Do Not Allow a Vote on Merrick Garland
President Obama has nominated Judge Merrick Garland to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Within minutes of the president’s announcement, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to deny this qualified, widely respected jurist a hearing or a vote.
It’s yet another reminder of what’s at stake in this election. As we wait to see whether Republicans in the U.S. Senate will do their jobs and fulfill their constitutional responsibility, keep one thing in mind:
The next president will likely have the opportunity to nominate several justices to the Supreme Court. And in doing so, she or he could have the power to transform the court—and American law—for generations to come.
Here’s what is at stake:
1. Safe and legal abortion
The Supreme Court recently held oral arguments from an abortion case from Texas—and the state’s access to safe and legal abortion hangs in the balance. Every leading Republican presidential candidate opposes abortion, and some even oppose exceptions for rape, incest, or to protect a woman’s health. And many would overturn Roe v. Wade to make that happen.
Clinton’s support for Garland’s nomination based on abortion coincides with Planned Parenthood’s support. After Obama nominated Garland, the CEO of the Planned Parenthood abortion business was spotted entering the White House.
The abortion corporation praised Garland and demanded the Senate hold a vote on is nomination.
On Facebook, Planned Parenthood praise Garland, saying, “Here’s what you need to know about President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland: He’s an intelligent, highly accomplished judge with a record of bipartisan support. There is no reason for the Senate GOP leadership to obstruct justice and refuse to give Judge Garland a fair hearing.”
Top pro-life groups told LifeNews.com that nothing has changed since Scalia’s passing in terms of their opposition to a vote on any Obama Supreme Court nominee. They say anyone Obama nominates for the Supreme Court will vote to uphold abortion on demand, ergo they will oppose a vote on Garland’s nomination.
Leading pro-life advocates agree the Senate should not vote on Scalia’s replacement until after a new president has been selected.
Garland has praised the author of Roe v. Wade and said his court paper are “the greatest gift to the country.” New information has surfaced showing showing that his former clerks have gone on to serve liberal judges by a 3-1 margin.
Jeff Flake: ‘I Would Rather Have a Less-Liberal Nominee Like Merrick Garland’ than One Hillary Would Pick
Her Heinous is responsible for more murders of women and children than Countess Elizabeth Bathory..
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the so-called right to have an abortion. Not only did state sovereignty-igoring, activist justices wrongly establish from the bench the PC right to have an abortion, but the left must fight to keep a majority of pro-abortion activist justices on the bench to carry on the lie that having abortion is a constitutionally protected right.
How can it be at stake Hilbilary if as you idiots claim, its in the Constitution?
Is it really not in there but a sympathetic loser scrotus court imagined it to be there? And that a rational court might in the future reverse such an insane idea?
When HiLIARy says ‘legal abortion,’ she means abortion on demand, full-term, at taxpayer expense.
You have to understand leftist-ese.
Obama, through Garland, has put the two most emotional constitutional questions of today on the ballot.
Energy will be required.
Staying at home is not an option.
It’s Trump or Cruz. Kasich is a nice man, but his prior votes and actions prove he’s not the man to be nominating justices. The 2A must be supported, and assault weapons ban votes with personal thank yous from WJC poison the well of trust.
If Hillary wants this person s help in murdering and butchering any more innocent children,, she will have to nominate him herself. (Pray she doesn’t get that chance!)
That tempering elective abortions requires ponderance at all, should be an affront to our culture.
No one has told Flake that the republicans control the senate and can “bork” any candidate Hillary puts forth.
Planned Parenthood: "Here's what you need to know about President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland: He's an intelligent, highly accomplished judge with a record of bipartisan support. There is no reason for the Senate GOP leadership to obstruct justice and refuse to give Judge Garland a fair hearing."
She’s more interested in having our guns taken away, for obvious reasons.
