Cenk Uygur rips Merrick Garland: If he were nominated by a Repub ‘I’d want to filibuster him’

[Red Knight]

39. This should not be surprising at all

Garland is another Harvard educated representative of the "professional" class that Obama worships so dearly. I don't even know if it's about one issue or another--it's the whole 'class" he really represents. Look at his advisers and where they come from--it's really enlightening in explaining who president Obama is and what he really stands for.

The Dems have essentially tossed away the working class as part of a strategy going back to McGovern. The DLC really put this into action and Bill Clinton was the biggest leader of its movement. President Obama is the same, really.

He also puts the next President(if it's a Democrat) in a bind. Do they pick someone truly liberal? Or--since this was Obama's choice do they have the excuse that this candidate deserves a hearing?

President Obama knows exactly what he's doing.

I highly recommend reading Thomas Frank on this subject of the Democratic party--how it got here and what it means for the future.
