Obama Nominates Merrick Garland for Supreme Court, Republicans Plan to Block

[Sir Codin]

The problem is not the judge, it's Obama. If literally anybody else were President, nobody would be arguing. But the Republicans never accepted that Obama won two elections and are trying to still pretend he isn't really a legitimate President- and therefore he isn't allowed to govern. This is anarchy-level irresponsibility and the real "precedent" for endless obstruction from now on. Because, you know, the Democrats can do the same next time there is a Republican president.

Uh, WAT?

Not disagreeing with you on everything else, but how does this even constitute anarchy? By my understanding, anarchism is the abolition of the state itself, including all governing bodies, and replacing it with nothing.

That doesn't seem close to what the Republicans want; they just want to replace Obama with someone from their own camp. Plus, put someone from their own camp on the vacant Justice seat as well.

I think he's using "anarchy" as a way to state that the GOP is abandoning the basic principles of governing.
