The Republican’s should move very, very slowly in considering Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court all the way to the end of the Obama Administration but have a fast lever if certain events occur during such a period . They both would appear to be secret except for the starred** one below that would some how be leaked to the White House.
(1) G-D forbid Hillary Clinton is elected on November 3rd then Merrick would be approved before the inauguration period because she would pick a more liberal candidate then this individual. This would be rushed even faster if in addition the G.O.P loses seats in the Senate
**(2) If somehow the Obama Administration allows justice to occur as it relates to the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton then the G.O.P could move this justice along.
(3) The President moves on a piece of legislation that he wouldn’t have considered in the past such as totally revamping Obamacare or eliminating the Income Tax. Hey it’s nice to dream.
