as much as I loathe Moscow Mitch and what he did denying Obama an appointment, I now think Merrick Garland would have been a disastrous justice. Not nearly as disastrous as ANY of this evil six-pack, but can you imagine someone so gutless and cowardly on the bench? Oh, wait...I just talked myself in a circle!

Truthfully, it always bummed me out that O always felt he had to try so hard to "reach across the aisle" (because he is a man of class and grace) but all that really meant was getting his hand slapped. Garland was supposedly an "acceptable" pick for the Rs, but then they just played Lucy and the football again.
