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.

Vote him down.
Not. …….next president choice not Obama. ….!!!!
There is an eighty-year tradition of not appointing Supreme Court justices during the final year of a president’s term. This was reaffirmed by Joe Biden in 1992 and by Schumer in 2007, as Democrats blocked nominations. They also blocked judge Bork on ideological grounds.
They are being hypocritical to suggest any urgency now. This president is very unpopular and has attempted to abuse executive orders and circumvent the Constitution on numerous occasions, and has has many executive orders struck down by the courts as unconstitutional. There are multiple valid reasons to not go ahead with any nominations from this president. Telling the president no is an action.
Garland is not ‘moderate.’ He wanted to overturn the Heller case, which establishes before the court that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. He anti-gun. He is also pro-abortion.
Imagine that
He hates the Constitution
Not soon enough!
NO WAY GO AWAY
Look at his face!!!the sneaky Snake!!!!!
Of course he does.
Hypocritical Assholes
