Barack Obama actually said...

"I'm confident you'll share my conviction that this American is not only eminently qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice, but deserves a fair hearing, and an up-or-down vote."

"We reiterate U.S. support for the peace process."

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

"Justice is not about abstract legal theory, nor some footnote in a dusty casebook."
