Barack Obama actually said...

"The President's direct words to the Cuban people will certainly build on the progress we've made."

"Today I am nominating Chief Judge Merrick Brian Garland to join the Supreme Court."

"It is both my constitutional duty to nominate a Justice and one of the most important decisions that I—or any president—will make."

"A Justice should possess an independent mind, unimpeachable credentials, and an unquestionable mastery of law."
