SCOTUS Appointment

[xxlt]

A brief description of the nominee, Merrick Garland:

-former federal prosecutor
-volunteered to prosecute Tim McVeigh
-prosecuted and convicted McVeigh, who received the death penalty
-a moderate who is not ideologically driven
-a model of fairness
-a consensus nominee (that comment came from Orrin Hatch, senior member of the Judiciary Committee)

Now how in the hell anyone can object to this nominee on the face of it is beyond me.

So, the "opposition" will say it is not about Garland being qualified, he obviously is. And I say to them, "Well d-bags, just because the conservative court has buttfucked America into submission forever doesn't mean the nominee has to be a flaming asshole since the guy who just vacated a seat by dying was one. For god's sake give the man a hearing, confirm him, and then be happy because you got a good judge who is anything but a flaming liberal. Or continue your course of treason by refusing to perform your duty to country, you wretched losers."
