Merrick Garland

[BlueCaliDem]

5. A bit conservative for my taste, but if that's what it takes to get Republicans to advise and

consent then Judge Garland has to be it.

I would've opted for someone younger and more progressive, but I'm not the president and I trust in his strategic political skills.

But seriously, we really need to take the power away from Republicans in the Senate. They're doing a piss-poor job for the American people and deserve to lose power. I believe we will, though, and when Notorious RBG and Justice Breyer, and perhaps even Kennedy, retire in the next eight-ten years, I'm certain Hillary Clinton - should she win - choose replacements who are like her husband's nominees, RBG and Breyer.

The good thing about Chief Judge Garland is, he's a Scorpio, and although I'm certain that I'm the only person in the world who likes that stuff, suffice it to say, Scorpios are fearless and fight to the bitter end especially when they feel as if they're being railroaded. Then they really get all up in that - with a tenacity not seen in other zodiac signs. How do I know this? Well, I have two grown children who are Scorps and as their mother, I have the battle scars to prove it!
