ed note (Tony)…Surprise, surprise! Nothing like a little “American Exceptionalism” and “Judeo-Christian values” to bring to the highest court in the land…….

President Barack Obama on Wednesday will nominate Merrick Garland, a veteran federal appeals court judge viewed as a moderate, to the U.S. Supreme Court, Democratic Senator Charles Schumer told Reuters.
The nomination of Garland, 63, who currently serves as chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, would set up a potentially ferocious political showdown with Senate Republicans.
Garland, 63, is a long-time appellate judge and former prosecutor who Obama also considered when he filled two previous Supreme Court vacancies. Federal appeals court judge Sri Srinivasan also had been a finalist for the nomination.
Obama said in a statement released by the White House that he will unveil his nominee at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) in the White House Rose Garden. Schumer is a member of the Senate Democratic leadership.
Obama has been searching for a replacement for long-serving conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on Feb. 13.
Garland, who in the past has earned praise from lawmakers of both parties, was named to his current job by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1997, winning Senate confirmation in a 76-23 vote. Prior to that, he served in the Justice Department during the Clinton administration.
“I’m confident you’ll share my conviction that this American is not only eminently qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice, but deserves a fair hearing, and an up-or-down vote,” Obama said in the statement ahead of his scheduled announcement in the White House Rose Garden.
Senate Republicans have vowed not to hold confirmation hearings or a vote on any nominee picked by the Democratic president for the lifetime position on the court. Senate confirmation is required for any nominee to join the bench.
Obama said he hoped the Senate would do its job and “move quickly to consider my nominee.”
Without Scalia, the nine-member Supreme Court is evenly split with four liberals and four conservative justices. Obama’s nominee could tilt the court to the left for the first time in decades.
Republicans, hoping a candidate from their party wins the Nov. 8 presidential election, want the next president, who takes office in January, to make the selection.
Billionaire Donald Trump is the leading Republican presidential candidate. Obama’s former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, is the front-runner on the Democratic side.
Republicans and their allies already have geared up to fight Obama’s nominee. Republican National Committee on Monday announced the formation of a task force that will work with an outside conservative group to spearhead attack ads and other ways of pushing back against Obama’s choice.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has served as a springboard to the Supreme Court for several justices including Scalia in recent decades.
Obama may have been looking for a nominee who could convince the Republicans to change course. Garland could fit that bill with moderate record, background as a prosecutor and a history of drawing Republican support.
The Obama administration also regarded Garland as a future compromise choice if another vacancy opened in an election year with the Senate under Republican control, according to Obama advisers at the time and others weighing in on the current nomination. That is the situation now confronting Obama.
Presidents tend to pick nominees younger than Garland, so they can serve for decades and extend a president’s legacy. But Obama may reason that the choice of an older nominee might also entice Senate Republicans into considering Obama’s selection.
The Indian-born Srinivasan, 49, would have been the first Asian-American and first Hindu Supreme Court justice.
Trump, speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America” program, said it was critical for Republicans to take back the White House to avoid Democrats shaping the Supreme Court.
“You have four Supreme Court judgeships coming up, and that would mean they would take over, that would mean for 50 years, probably, this country will never be the same,” Trump said.
“The Republicans should do exactly what they are doing. I think they should wait till the next president and let the next president pick,” Trump said.
Scalia wasn’t a conservative, he was a neocon tool. Good riddance to him. He had a Ron Brown done to him, they are eating their own…. However, if Obama nominated me, I would start having doubts about myself. I wonder who Hilary would choose.
That will be four for them. Kagan, Breyer and Ginsburg currently on the court are Jews. One more Jew will make it four out of nine judges for them. They are 2% of the population and will make up almost 50 percent of the supreme court. There are no WASPS on the court, which they once dominated. Add that to the Federal Reserve for which every Fed Chairman since 1970 has been a Jew, with the exception of a non-Jew who held the position for one year during the Carter administration. Add that to their complete takeover of America’s top universities (whites are practically banned) and their domination of Hollywood and the media. Can it go on like this? I would assume that at some point there would be an explosion of anger against these racists.
Here is a good article on the selection of the mediocrity Elena Kagan to the court over many with a superior qualifications:

Garland could fit that bill to change course? Changing course in favor of this idol Israel and making sure no one says bad about them. This ‘star of Solomon (David’) will be in every church to lift up this idol called Israel. To God it is an image of jealousy for they are not God’s chosen people as the church thinks they are. Take the veil off of your eyes before they come after you!
NIGHT IS GETTING DARKER FOR THE CHURCH IN AMERICA.
IMAGE OF JEALOUSY – Ezekiel 8:5, (3, 16)
“Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the
north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward
at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.”
LET’S LOOK AT THIS VERSE IN THE SPIRITUAL. NORTH-James Strong’s
Concordance #6828/6845=Hebrew word for: hidden, dark, gloomy, unknown,
wind, to hide, by covering over, to hoard, deny, to lurk, esteem, keep secret.
WHAT WOULD THIS VERSE BE SAYING IN THE SPIRITUAL? There is an image of
jealousy but this image has been hidden from our eyes as something other than
what it really is. WHAT THEN IS THIS HIDDEN IMAGE? (#5566=Hebrews)=means
that it resembles a likeness and it is an idol today. This means that many today
are worshipping this image as an idol but have blind eyes to it (2 Corinthians
3:14,15). Colossians 3:6 tells us why they became blind and tainted in spirit.
Steven in Acts 7:43 has told us that they again worshipped this image (Amos
5:10, 21, 26). Judges 10:6 tells us that they always turned back to the star gods.
Solomon fell prey to the worship of the star gods (1 Kings 11:6, 7). Ezekiel 8:16
again tells us that many in the church today fall prey to this eastern star worship
in many different forms (1 Kings 11:5, 6-8). These are all star gods that come
back into worship time and time again but still many have veil covered eyes.
Jeremiah 7:3, 4; 10:2, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend
your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. (4) Trust
ye not in lying words, saying The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD,
The temple of the LORD, are these.” (Three times-even Jesus turned the temple
over twice and now for a third time to come-Ezekiel 21:27). This idol has come
back time and time and now another time for today because of lifting up those
things that make God angry. Especially this image of the star as an idol for
worship. The Star of David on the Israeli flag is the symbol not of David but of
Solomon who worshipped the stars. David didn’t. It is Zohar of three entities
and of Kabbalah of the seven building blocks in her crown (Revelation 17:3-5). It
is a signet. Satan’s opposite (666) of God’s trinity came back in full force and yet
many are still veiled to it. She stands as a tower of Babel holding her own light,
daughter of Babylon (Isaiah 47:1-15).
You are to shine as God’s burning bush light (Exodus 3:2) but Satan will always try to bring his own star lights back for worship (Luke 10:18). You are that light of the world in spirit and in truth.
The star on the Israel flag should be a warning to all that this is the image of jealousy and God will reserve his judgment for those who lift up this image which is the physical nation of Israel.
2% of the population/44% of the SCOTUS… that seems properly proportional. After all they are Chosen… Self Chosen… Chosen is a title that rates capitalization, and is uniquely Jewish… me and you? not so much.
From the pro-jewish web site Wikipedia:
“Garland was born on November 13, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois.[2] He was raised in the Chicago area,[3] in the northern suburb of Lincolnwood.[4]
Garland’s mother Shirley (née Horwitz) was a director of volunteer services at Chicago’s Council for Jewish Elderly; his father, Cyril Garland, headed Garland Advertising, a small business run out of the family’s home.[5][6][3] Garland’s mother is Jewish; his father, who died in 2000, was Protestant.[7] Garland was raised as a Jew.[7] His maternal grandparents left the Pale of Settlement in the early 20th century, fleeing anti-Semitism and seeking a better life for their children in the United States.”
I saw this news this morning on my jew-tube…er…television. He looked jewish but his name, both first and last, read very WASPy. His mother is a jew and he was raised as a jew.
If this man in confirmed that will make the Supreme Court a majority (5 out of 9) jewish. (You folks forgot half Sephardic jew Sotomayer.) What percentage of jews stray from their DNA driven anti-white, anti-Christian agenda? A very, very small percentage. Not good for Gentile America. This will be a major setback if he’s confirmed.
Did Obama pick a jew believing he’d more likely confirmed by the House because he’s a jew considering the subservience of Washington, DC to this tribe?
Most Americans think Obama is “pro-Muslim.” That goes to show you how good and how formidable the jews are with their (J)MSM brainwashing ability.
MatthewBoston… thanks for the njews…
Garland is bad news …he was sheperded through for his present Judgeship by none other than Jew /Israel worshipping ” Conservative ” Republican …Morman Oran Hatch in 1997 !
Garlands father was a fool ,who rode his Jew wifes connections for his home business .
I’ve met this kind !
Garland is good on ” National Security issues “… This means ISRAEL !
Watch some of the Republicans fold .
When big Jew Elena Kagan said at her confirmation hearing ,” As a good Jew I eat Chinese on Christmas ” ,all of the Conservative Republicans opposition melted like ” butta “.
We no longer have a US Supreme Court but a Sanhedrin .
Of course Opis Dei Neoconservative Catholic Jew idolizer Scalia will be continued ,only under slightly different guise .
Dante Ardenz How about Nuttyahoos visit to congress? It was embarrassing. When Rand Paul was criticized for not cheering quick enough, He put that too rest riht away, declaring “What do y’all want? I gave him 64 standing ovations”. Yeah he stood firm… and he’s one of the better ones. The GOP kneel and bob team.
