Right Wing Site To GOP: Confirm Garland Before Hillary Makes It Worse

[LebaneseDude 6,146]

Politico reports:

RedState has a message for Senate Republicans: Confirm Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court now — before Hillary Clinton picks someone much worse next year.

Leon Wolf, the managing editor of conservative blog RedState.com, wrote in a post Wednesday that with Ted Cruz dropping out of the race for the GOP nomination and Donald Trump positioned to take it, “this is not even a close call.”

“There is absolutely no reason to drag this out any longer,” Wolf wrote. “Garland is not a great choice, but he is not a terrible one, either.”

After writing that “Republicans must know” they will lose the White House and “likely” the Senate, Wolf argued that the D.C. Circuit judge is probably older and more centrist than anyone Clinton would nominate.

“In fact, if I were the Republicans, my main concern right now would be that Barack Obama would withdraw Garland’s nomination today,” Wolf wrote. “The fact that Merrick Garland still exists as an option right now is a gift that should not be squandered.”

This is what I said from day one. They better give it to the moderate now before Hillary wins and gets some super Liberal in there

Hillary isn't liberal at all. She is moderate.

Sanders is the only liberal (he isn't even close to being a social democrat or socialist).

Can you fact check before making statements like that? I'm starting to be disappointed that people are ignoring all the facts that have been presented.

Hillary and Bernie are the same on domestic and economic issues. Hillary trails a little behind on individual rights, only because she isn't as strict on religion as Bernie is. She has relatively more conservative values on foreign policy though, while still remaining in the liberal field. The reason for that is that Hillary believes the USA has a responsibility to the world, while Sanders essentially wants to enforce a degree of diplomatic isolationism.

Her voting record during the senate placed her as the 11th most liberal senator out of a total of 168 Democrats.

From those statistics, Hillary becomes more like a liberal moderate within the Democratic party. That's still liberal. It's not just as extreme as Sanders. Hillary represents the Democratic party far more, while remaining a pragmatic liberal. By your definition, anyone who isn't as extreme as Bernie isn't a liberal. That's a little hyperbolic no? 

So I think you're confusing being moderate WITHIN liberalism with being a moderate between liberalism and conservatism. Liberalism is a range. It's very clear that what you are saying is categorically false.

It's not very liberal to defend a rapist in court when you know he's wrong. 

It's not very liberal to refer to black teens as superpredators.

it's not very liberal to be against gay marriage.

It's not very liberal to shut down a blm protester then turn around and say "back to the issues" as if racism isn't an issue.

I thought Hillary and Obama were  in the centrist wing of the democratic party. Aren't they "new democrats" ? 

American politics are so confusing jesus...
