"Merrick Garland would take no chances that someone who murdered innocent Americans might go free on a technicality." —@POTUS #SCOTUSnominee— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 16, 2016
Those "Technicalities" are the bill of rights, and their comment reflects that Garland is positively dismissive about the due process rights of defendants.
I do understand political realities, but the idea that any President would try to trumpet the willingness of a nominee for Supreme Court justice to ignore the Constitution is truly awful.
H/t Cory Robin.
