Washington — Merrick B. Garland, (click here) a Harvard-educated lawyer and classic overachiever, was working in lucrative private practice at Arnold & Porter in the nation’s capital when, in 1989, he was offered a position as a federal prosecutor handling criminal cases here. It meant a 50 percent cut in pay and trading a sumptuous office for one that smelled of stale cigarettes.
He jumped at it.
“I don’t know whether he thought it would be good if he were ever going to become attorney general or a judge,” said Earl Steinberg, a lifelong friend who has known Judge Garland since kindergarten and roomed with him at Harvard. “But he viewed it as an experience he ought to get.”...
When an American has obviously dedicated their lives to serving the country it should not be a punishment to his or her career.
In "The Hill" is an opinion that in 2014 the American people have already spoken in 2014 and any Obama nominee is insignificant to the Republican ideologies.
The Republicans have put their agenda first since President Obama took office. This nomination will prove to be a learning experience for those aspiring to the Supreme Court. Why take the tough jobs as Chief Judge Garland did in order to work toward a place coveted by the professionals as a pinnacle achievement. When high standards are disparaged by politics it is a clear indication the wrong people are in office. There is no priority by the Republican Party except their own ideologies. They are in office for the "W"rong reasons.
