Obama On Fox News: I’ll Keep Garland As SCOTUS Nominee Through The End Of My Term [VIDEO]

Via Talking Points Memo:

President Barack Obama railed against the Republican senators who are stalling a consideration of his Supreme Court nominee, D.C. circuit judge Merrick Garland and vowed to support him through his term as President in an interview aired Sunday. I think there’s no doubt that Democrats and Republicans have gotten into a fix inside the Senate in which the confirmation process becomes too much of a tit-for-tat or becomes politicized,” Obama said on “Fox News Sunday.” “So I don’t object to Republicans saying, ‘look, Merrick Garland may be a fine man. He may be an excellent judge. But I just disagree with him philosophically on a whole range of issues so I’m going to vote against him.'”

This was Obama’s first appearance on the show since being elected.
