The American Bar Association has given Merrick Garland a perfect score, its highest possible rating as a prospective Supreme Court Justice. The superlatives coming from the group are unbelievable.
To describe the ABA's endorsement as glowing would be an understatement.
“He may be the perfect human being,” one anonymous legal professional told the ABA in evaluating Garland's integrity.
“He will fit in so perfectly on the Supreme Court,” another evaluation raved. In keeping with the "perfect" theme, other lawyers praised his "perfect temperament" and described him as a "perfectionist in his written work." The ABA's endorsement was based on confidential interviews of private practice lawyers, law professors, and state and federal judges.
So of course the Republicans don't believe it. Or at least are pretending like they don't. They remain committed to this blockade. There is no nominee they'd accept, because it's not about the nominee. It's about thwarting this president. For that, they should pay dearly in November.
