“today marks the 99th day since President Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court--99 days. Yet Republican colleagues continue to refuse to do their constitutional duty and act on the nomination. Just this week, we received more proof of Judge Garland's qualifications and another sign that Senate Republicans should act now. As we all know, the American Bar Association, a highly respected nonpartisan and nonideological group made up of qualified experts in the legal field, announced that it unanimously gave Judge Garland its highest rating of ``well qualified,'' and we know they have tough standards. After poring through the available records and speaking to colleagues and peers who know Judge Garland best, here are some of the examples of what they said about him in the ABA report: ``Garland's integrity is off the scales.'' He is a ``straight shooter'' who is ``brilliant, exceptional, and phenomenal.'' ``Garland is the best that there is. He is the finest judge I have ever met. There is no one who is his peer.'' ``He is very sharp and works hard to find consensus among the panel. He decides the case but does not decide more than is necessary to resolve the case.'' ``He always is the best prepared because he wants to get it right.'' I would say that is pretty good. I would say all those quotes are amazing.…”
