Carrie Severino, Chief Counsel and Policy Director of the Judicial Crisis Network, issued the following statement today:
“Merrick Garland would be a reliable liberal fifth vote on the Supreme Court, cementing liberal dominance of the Court for a generation. The Republican presidential campaign doesn’t change that. Republican Senators have been right all along in allowing the people a voice in this decision – a voice President Obama is trying to silence. Garland’s anti-business, anti-Second Amendment, pro-Big Government record proves he’d be a rubber-stamp for President Obama’s lawless, unconstitutional agenda.”
