Quote
Garland is considered a judicial moderate and a centrist. Garland has been described by Nina Totenberg and Carrie Johnson of NPR as "a moderate liberal, with a definite pro-prosecution bent in criminal cases." The New York Times said he "is often described as brilliant."]

Quote
Garland, 63, is currently the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. A former prosecutor, he's also viewed as a moderate. And he has cultivated a reputation for openness and collegiality at the D.C. Circuit, a bench that's sometimes called the second most important in the land.

The president praised Garland for his "decency, modesty, integrity, even-handedness and excellence."

With Garland standing beside him, Obama recounted the judge's bio, from his youth in Chicago to his sacrifices to go to college and law school — sacrifices, Obama said, that included Garland selling his comic book collection.

Before becoming a judge, Garland occupied top posts in the Justice Department, where he oversaw some of the biggest investigations of the Clinton era, including the Oklahoma City bombing, the Unabomber case, and the Atlanta Olympics bombing.

Seems like a solid choice. Too bad it's all for nothing.

It's smart because the Senate has voted for him before unanimously and now they're not going to. It lets Obama have the high ground and go "But I tried to meet you halfway and you won't, after doing it before?"

It'll make the Senators running for re-election be in more danger too because their rivals can say they never do their job.


Politics aside though, I feel sorry for the guy. I saw the speech and him choking up a few times. Odds are he won't make it in, because when Hillary wins she'll probably go far more liberal. Probably Sri Srinivasan when she's in, but who knows.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I think he's a fine choice, but it's unfortunate that party lines and circumstance will keep him out of a job.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
I like how even just from looking at his mugshot, you can tell that he's a nice guy.

Yout shitty bait is just depressing.

Cue "hahah you can't even prove im a troll bro <|;^)"

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You okay kiddo?

1. People hate Hillary and the Establishment more than they hate Trump
2. Young Bernie Supporters won't come out to vote if hes not on the ballot.

Those 2 things mixed with his great debate skills will earn him a win. 100%.

LOL "great debate skills"

I didn't know smirking and slinging insults could be considered a debate.

It's ok, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Not only are you trolling, you're a fucking idiot because anybody with half a brain could come up with something actually inflammatory.

He doesn't have a chance in hell. I'll be sure to quote you when he loses.

Yawn. Go take a walk and cool off. You're so transparent. Its so easy to see when you're having a bad day irl.

Please quote me when he wins. It'll be great.

Highly probable. Hillary vs. Trump polls are a decent reference.

Trump is more unpopular than Bill Cosby and anyone who's not in the far right absolutely hates him.

Also please stop putting the quotes at the bottom.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Daily reminder that the alt-right only ironically loves trump. We know he has dealings with the Jews and that's not cool.

On topic tho, this guys seems alright. Shame that this congress won't do anything. I don't want to see a single incumbent returning to their seat come election time.

That means nothing, assumptions don't do anyone any good.
