Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , who as majority leader blocked President Barack Obama’s nomination of Mr. Garland , said in a statement Wednesday: “I’m voting to confirm Judge Garland because of his long reputation as a straight shooter and legal expert.

The guy that went through heck and back
🤢🤢🤢
Congrats! A lesser man would be thinking about serving some cold revenge. Luckily for the Repubs I don't think he is a lesser man but who could blame him.
Hopefully he can clean up the corruption. Doubtful.
Note Garland doesn’t consider the “peaceful protests” from this Summer (still ongoing in Portland) as “domestic extremism”. Only those taking selfie tours in the Capitol or questioning the last election.
Most welcome precious people
The senators who voted against garland just so happen to probably have an arrest warrant with their name on it in orchestrating the terror attack at the capitol that left 5 Americans dead.
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about DennisWilliam56 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
About damn time
Yay 🎉 So glad 20 republican senators had the sense to vote for his confirmation! A sign of hope. Love his smile in this picture 🙂
'Merrick Fucking Garland' has taken on a whole new meaning today
Wonder if that includes ANTIFA? 🤔
Those 30 GOP Senators can GTH!
Now go get Trump and his crime family 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The fact 30 Senators voted against him is shameful, except we already know Republicans lack any capacity for shame after the last 4 years of obsequious fawning over Trump.
Look out Donald
