There is nothing shocking about the type of person Obama would choose for his Supreme Court nomination. Obama, whose chief aim as President has been to dismantle the Constitution, a document that he holds in contempt and believes is out-dated and deeply flawed, would certainly nominate someone who reflects his beliefs. Merrick Garland is precisely that type of man, a justice who has demonstrated a hate for the Second Amendment and a man willing to vote to nullify a “landmark gun rights ruling”.
Garland was one of four judges who voted to rehear the case of Parker v. District of Columbia with a full ten-judge panel after a smaller panel struck down the District of Columbia’s total ban on handguns. Garland’s vote for this en banc hearing indicates that he may believe the decision to strike down the city’s gun ban was mistaken.
The other six judges on the appeals court voted not to rehear the case, and the Supreme Court went on to rule in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to bear arms in the case.
The Heller case is not the only time Garland has ruled against gun rights. In 2000, he ruled against the National Rifle Association in a lawsuit challenging the Justice Department’s handling of gun purchaser’s information. Garland ruled that is was permissible for the department to retain up to six months of records from the National Instant Background Check System, over the NRA’s argument that this practice effectively created an illegal national registry.
Obama has made controlling gun violence his top agenda for his second term and has issued 10 executive orders to make that a reality. This nomination for Supreme Court Justice is another step in Obama’s destroy the Second Amendment push.
The Senate needs to just say no to any hearings.

No surprise here!
Of course he does. He wants all our guns so he can take over our country. Just like$#%&!@*did.
Like we didnt know that was coming! !!!
Not an acceptable replacement for Justice Scalia the only acceptable replacement for him is a man of very similar judicial temperament and view as Justice Scalia which of course will not happen with this president I urge the Senate to actually hold hearings and vote him down in the full Senate
Really? Obama is gone guys. All the excuses are gone too. Both Houses of Congress are now Republican, Supreme Court Republican control for last 8 years, next President Republican guaranteeing a super majority (7 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices, first time in history). No more liberals to blame. How are they going to explain to the American People why Roe vs Wade is not reversed, IRS is not closed, no passage of “flat” tax, & no repeal of Obama Care etc. It will be entertaining. The dog just caught the car.
