and he kept that promise. mer rick merrick garland was dominated and sat there with much less a hearing, not even a vo vote. and that seat went to neil gorsuch. that is why donald trump won this lawsuit and he won another suit about abortion rights today and that is ultimately the reason this case came out the way it did. i appreciate your time. coming up, a tweet with only a photo and no words sums a great deal about republican reaction. the president called today s supreme court ruling a victory. it was a victory for the president and also for mitch mcconnell. merrick garland was his name nominated after justice scalia died. that led to a new president and a new nominee. ewww! being in the know is very good. don t shake! ahhh! sign up online for free. discover social security alerts.
so that the interest groups can be told they were considering that person. i would say, for example, i think candidly people would admitmaker gar land s inclusion on the list last year was for that purpose because it was pretty clear the president was going to coos a woman. you have the same dynamics at work this time. this time i think mer rick garland s name on the list is a real possibility. elainal kagan is certainly one. diane wood on the appeals court. mer rick as i said federal appeals court judge here. janet napolitano, jennifer granholm, these are the names we re hearing. leal ward sears from the georgia supreme court. they always say their names you don t know and that s always true. so when you say who on this list, you say this time mer rick garland is a real candidate, was sort of last time on there out of respect. who fits that bill this time. that is on there sort of for ceremonial purposes? i can t be certain.
