[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrible choice -- another old moderate white man. Fuck that. [/quote] You mean like Obama's other nominees, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor? You are an idiot.[/quote] Why nominate someone so old? I am in favor of fixed terms for justices, but until we get them why not nominate someone younger? Why not nominate someone who is brings something new to the court? I would like to see a diversity of viewpoints represented on the court. Garland is very middle of the road (has he ever supported a criminal defendant against the government?) with the same professional/personal background as everyone else on the court. The pick is essentially giving the Republicans the candidate that is attractive to them as possible (w/r/t to both age and ideology) short of nominating O'Connor-- if you think that's a good strategy then you should be happy with it, but I disagree with that strategy.[/quote]
