Obama should appoint Garland on January 3, 2017
Almost 3 million more Americans want a moderate liberal like Judge Merrick Garland to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Even though this will give us only a year before his appointment can be undone, that year may be crucially important to our Republic.
Why is this important?
Mitch McConnell defied the Constitution and insisted that this Supreme Court position be determined by the American people. Almost 3 million more of us want a moderate liberal like Judge Merrick Garland to be appointed. The US needs one more year before the conservative minority takes over appointments to the courts. Also appoint as many unfilled lower court positions as your team has vetted. Make the republicans fight another year to turn back our progress. Petition Deadline January 2, 2017.
