Obama nominates Merrick Garland for Supreme Court
President Obama has nominated Merrick Garland to fill Antonin Scalia's seat on the Court.He is currently an appeals judge on the Washington DC federal court and has been described as a centrist with some rightist leanings.He was a former U.S. attorney in Bush 41 administration and was nominated for a federal judge ship by Clinton.However, the Republicans sat on his nomination for several months because they doubted the need for another judge.Interesting how this plays out as Obama didn't nominate some lefty loony but someone who is the most conservative choice by a Democrat president in many decades.
Let the catfights begin!
