TH3 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Trump is already on record saying he wants someone as close to Antonin Scalia as possible. Huh....Trump must have changed his views on single payer health care, same sex marriage, and abortion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Seems like a solid choice. Although I'd like to see somebody who is maybe a little more supportive of the 2nd Amendment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH3 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is this even a serious question? No - what threats exist...no just hype...REAL threats...that you see that would fundamentally change the ability of law abiding citizens to own firearms? Any legislation on the horizon - any that exist? The below is going to change? District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 decision....the Supreme Court held that the Constitution protects an “individual” right to keep and bear a handgun for purposes of self-defense.

B-Man Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What threats to the 2A are there? I have read three articles on Judge Garland so far, not one has failed to mention his rulings in the past limiting the 2nd perhaps you should start there................

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is this even a serious question? No. Its willful ignorance from a gun control supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The GOP will now embarrass itself if it doesn't hold hearings. Feel badly for the Garland. He's going to get tossed about on some rough waters through no fault of his own except for being a centrist brilliant legal mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The GOP will now embarrass itself if it doesn't hold hearings. Oh, please. Like the GOP is concerned with embarrassing itself? I'm sure Garland appreciates your pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Oh, please. Like the GOP is concerned with embarrassing itself? I'm sure Garland appreciates your pity. The race card won't be played on this one. Oh wait, Obama isn't white so any objection to his appointment will be a racist act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Garland has a history of being pro-business: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/president-obama-to-nominate-merrick-garland-to-the-supreme-court-sources-say/2016/03/16/3bc90bc8-eb7c-11e5-a6f3-21ccdbc5f74e_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Almost as embarrassing as watching the planned media reports of Judge Granger being paraded from democrat office to democrat office (for the cameras) to highlight the GOP"s "intransigence"....................... You can get excited if you want, but I've seen to much of this Kabuki BS, by our "free press' and our "leaders" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The race card won't be played on this one. Oh wait, Obama isn't white so any objection to his appointment will be a racist act. It's already started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sounds like a win for the GOP -- they got what they wanted (or should want), a moderate. Now let's see if they are stupid enough to fail to recognize the win and instead turn it into yet another PR disaster for their party. Odds on 'yes' are 3:1.

Doc Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Refusing to confirm him will do nothing to the party. Just like shutting down the government didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, it's too bad we don't know how Garland might view a case like DC v Heller. If only we knew what his position might be if he was ever to provide an opinion in a case like that.......
