B-Man Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 The front runner will defer to the judgment of the Senate.............as is required. .
Simon Posted March 16, 2016 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?

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.

Observer Posted March 16, 2016 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.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted March 16, 2016 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
B-Man Posted March 16, 2016 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" .

KD in CA Posted March 16, 2016 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 Posted March 16, 2016 Refusing to confirm him will do nothing to the party. Just like shutting down the government didn't.

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.......
