- The President is due to make an announcement at 11am today of who will replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia
- Sources have said Obama has narrowed the list to three appeals court judges
- They are Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the appeals courts in Washington, D.C.; Sri Srinivasan, a judge on that court; and Paul Watford of the appeals courts based in San Francisco
- Pick is Garland networks now say
- He has little chance of making it through the congressional consideration process; Republicans in charge say they won’t give him a hearing

Sounds like a law firm…
0bama will likely try to pull some shenanigans, like FDR tried to do. Except now, there are no principled Democrats and precious few Republicans who care enough about the separation of powers to stop him.
Garland is a terrible idea…
His mentor was Jamie Gorelick.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Next.
the republicans have their chance
they’d better not blow it
get the popcorn
Wow, what is the matter with Obutthole? Appears to be a straight white guy (kind of on the pale side though)! Neither a woman, minority, or a woman minority, transgender, pedophile, queer or necrophiliac! He sure is letting his buttbuddies down!
They have to approve him. Or else they will be called raaaacist!
I will be mailing letters to my two US Senators, my Congressman (Scalise) and all the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary committee – urging them to not let Merrick’s nomination out of committee and to allow the next President to make their decision on whom to nominate to replace Justice Scalia.
Recess appointment to follow, maybe next week.
He’s the sacrificial lamb. That’s all he is.
R’s won’t hold hearings during election year to snub soerto, then his next pick is hard, hard left or a recess appt.
Figuratively speaking, there’s going to be a gun fight. I hope Garland has a good knife.
Merrick, Garland & Dunn
DjKimgo, Garland his hardcore anti-Second Amendment.
