Obama’s pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia is an opponent to the Second Amendment. Merrick Garland is exactly the type of justice one would expect Obama, who has been called the “most anti–gun president in American history” to nominate to the Supreme Court.
One of the most important Second Amendment cases in history, District of Columbia v. Heller, and the case leading up to it was in Garland’s sights. He was one of four judges who voted to grant an en banc hearing of Parker v. District of Columbia, which ultimately led to the ruling by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller.
This en banc hearing entails, a decision by the full court of every appeals judge in the jurisdiction where there is more than one three- or four-judge panel. The larger number will sit in judgement if the court feels that there is an especially compelling issue at stake. In this case, Garland felt that the decision made to strike down the District of Columbia’s gun ban was an error.

Would you expect anything less from that Jerk
Hopefully the Senate will block that little short White Boy.
Any “Republican” that evens considers him should be voted out of office (if not recalled) at the first opportunity.

And in my humble opinion SH was just another false flag to take our rights away, just like so many other “tragedies”
This is BS spin from the right.
Let’s put this guy in a hearing ask the tough questions on the ACA, late term abortion, immigration, 2nd Amendment, etc and we will see the real liberal Obama is trying convince Congress this guy’s a centrist. He’s as close to the center line as the gutter.
