Obama Announces SCOTUS Nominee

From what I understand, Obama has named his choice to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court via Twitter of all places...

Who is it?

Merrick Garland.

Here's what the Washington Post wrote about him awhile back:

"To some, Merrick Garland’s experience and demeanor could make him the quintessential Supreme Court candidate for a Democratic president.

A magna cum laude Harvard Law School graduate, he clerked not just for any Supreme Court justice but for William J. Brennan Jr., the legendary liberal champion. He was a partner at a prominent Washington law firm, then ascended the ranks at the Justice Department, where he oversaw two of the biggest domestic terrorism cases in U.S. history."

So the question is now. Will the GOP fight the nomination like they've promised to? That is the million dollar question. Stay tuned.
