And McConnell will cave and vote on it.
NO, he is NOT!
There is no authority to “appoint”.
He can NOMINATE and the Senate can reject.
I’m shocked it wasn’t Sri Srinivasan.
FOX news is liking him .
Supposedly a moderate which means he will transform into a liberal with “pack” support from liberals already on the court.
If this guy gets through say goodbye to the second amendment... Liberal gun control dream right there people.... Now I say we should see a real Million Man march on D.C. in opposition of this and in support of Republicans .... Just like the liberals do when they don’t like something, we need to get out there and make some noise and shut Obama down once and for all it will be a hoot to see millions marching for gun rights in D.C. against Obama on his way out the door... I love it.
his idol is Marshall, who, after a short read, I found out REALLY strengthened the SC and was highly IN FAVOR of fed rights over state rights.
and deciding if laws were unconstitutional.
great
This is a throwaway nominee. He is too old. The Democrats don’t want him. They’d rather have a young minority to spend 30 years shredding the Constitution and getting revenge against white folks. Obama knows damn well Garland has no chance. That’s the point. Democrat enthusiasm is at all-time lows. This is designed to boost it. Simple as that.
Pretty simple, either don’t hold hearings or Bork him out of principle.
This is all about amnesty, and continuing the endless spigot of illegal and criminal aliens and cheap labor.
That is the only thing that matters to the GOPe.
So whoever Obama nominates to the Court, that person will do whatever it takes to continue this invasion.
And so, it will be someone who is supposedly “moderate” - but that person will forward the amnesty, cheap labor and displacement of the American worker.
And because of that - cheap labor - the Republican establishment in the Senate will end up supporting that person to the Court so they can get their cheap labor agenda tied like a noose around the neck of America via the court.
Period.
Nice photo. Where’s his middle finger, though?
The author, wittingly or unwittingly, is aiding and abetting this farcical president with the choice of the word "appoint".
The best STRATEGY the GOP should take is to “receive” the nomination but due to the lateness of the nomination means that we really cant begin scheduling hearings until after the summer break (Back in Sept).
Then start a slow roll of the hearings from Sept till the top of Nov. Basically wait till the election. If the Dems win the election, evaluate the nominee against a potential Hillary or Sanders nominee. If this nominee is marginally better, go ahead and confirm them.
However (Hopefully) if the GOP nominee wins, vote down the nominee in committee and allow the incoming President the opportunity to nominate.
From 1994 until his appointment as U.S. Circuit Judge, Judge Garland served as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, where his responsibilities included the supervision of the Oklahoma City bombing and UNABOM prosecutions.
Hmmm....
This guy must be a glutton for punishment accepting the nomination knowing he is going down in a ball of flames. That alone puts his judgement in question and thus I vote “no”.
Hold that line! Hold that line!
DOA!
He can nominate anybody he wants. The senate can just ignore it as they have indicated they will.
And the future of the GOP rests on whether or not that nominee gets approval.
Garland clerked for Democrat lefty Supreme Court Justice Brennan. That is all I need to know. Now where is that waste basket?
