Obama: Merrick Garland qualified to serve on Supreme Court immediately
Seems like a reasonable pick. We'll see if the GOP can proceed professionally.
"During his introduction of Garland, Obama cited Sen. Orrin Hatch,
R-Utah, who voted to confirm Garland in 1997 and who called him a
"consensus choice" for the court opening in 2010 that went to Elena
Kagan.
"The one name that has come up repeatedly from Republicans and Democrats alike is Merrick Garland," Obama said Wednesday."
"Adding the Supreme Court to the nation's divisive politics," Obama said, "would be wrong."
"The reputation of the Supreme Court will inevitably suffer," he said, and "our democracy will ultimately suffer as well."
