Obviously Barack Obama has nominated an individual with the academic, professional, and intellectual chops which put him above criticism based on competence. We conservatives are thus reduced to objecting to the man because of his ideology which, experience shows, many a Rino Republican senators will not support. Obama is fully aware of our weakness.

It goes without saying the Democrats have no problems attacking Republican appointees who are conservative on any grounds, witness Judge Bork and Justice Thomas.

It is vital that no hearings be conducted or we will begin to see desertion in the ranks.

This cannot be allowed to happen. This must be stopped BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Yes, that too.

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Wednesday will nominate Merrick B. Garland as the nation’s 113th justice, according to White House officials, choosing a centrist appeals court judge widely respected even by Republicans in hopes his choice will be considered by the Senate

Oh, there will be some newsbite theatrics and grandstanding but the way I see things unfolding is summarized in the meme...

[Ancesthntr]

Let’s see:

1) Clerked for that uber-activist Brennan.

2) Nominated by Clinton previously.

3) Anti-gun as Hell.

4) Nominated by Obama.

Not just “No” but NO F’ING WAY!!!!!!

Dead. On. Arrival.

Elections have consequences, Barky!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha - you don’t like that concept so much when it turns around and takes a hunk out of your narrow ass, do you? Well, too damned bad.

Merrick Garland is a radical Eco-twit!

Obama’s on TV whining and raging about the Senate.

There’s always a recess appointment if he can pull it off, but that’s the only way that anti-gun, anti-American man should get on the court.

Obama just gave that guy no hope of getting onto the Supreme Court.

I was excited for a moment... I thought he said Beverly Garland.

Then I found out she'd passed in 2008, I figured that even being from Chicago, Barrack couldn't be so stupid as to nominate a dead nominee... a brain dead one maybe, but not one really dead.

[Salvation]

We don’t want Garland, period.
