Right Wing Site To GOP: Confirm Merrick Garland To SCOTUS Before Hillary Gives Us Someone Much Worse

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.”
