There should be no nominating of "liberal" or "conservative" judges and fighting to stop their nomination. Heck, there shouldn't even be liberal or conservative judges! Just judges.

Judge Garland is considered a moderate jurist. In fact, when Obama nominated Justice Kagan to the bench, the GOP pleaded for Garland and said he was a sure thing. Both parties have called for him in the past two nominations. He's been seen with overwhelming bipartisan support since his appointment to the Appeal bench in 1995.

I have to say, though, that I am with you. I really hate the politicization of the SCOTUS.
