Jews ought to realize that the GOP is working against the tradition of Brandeis, a man who exemplifies the best achievements of American Jews.
President Obama will nominate Merrick B. Garland, chief judge of the D. C. Circuit, to the Supreme Court this morning, according to multiple media sources.
Garland, 63, has a typical SCOTUS-track resume: Harvard Law, Supreme Court clerk, top DOJ prosecutor (he oversaw the Oklahoma City bombing and Unabomber investigations), federal appeals court judge (he was confirmed to that post with Republican support).
Of course, he won’t be confirmed despite his impeccable credentials, because GOP policy at this point is to obstruct anything and everything Obama does, not help our government to function smoothly.
The only way to change that is by voting Republicans out of power.
