PRESIDENT Barack Obama yesterday nominated veteran appellate court judge Merrick Garland to the US Supreme Court, setting up a potentially ferocious showdown with Senate Republicans who have vowed to block any Obama nominee.
Considered a moderate, Garland, 63, is currently chief judge of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. He was picked to replace long-serving conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on February 13.
Republicans demand Obama leave the seat vacant to let the next president make the selection.
