Robinson on the Garland pick

From his post at Ring of Fire:
  • He is very pro-police and rarely votes in favor of criminal appeals.
  • He is unlikely to turn over existing criminal justice rulings like the death penalty.
  • During his time as a lawyer, he represented the tobacco industry.
  • During his time as a lawyer, he fought against the Clean Air Act.
  • During his time as a lawyer, he represented corporate entities.
  • As a judge, he voted against allowing Guantanamo detainees access to civil courts.
  • He is absolutely not a progressive liberal.
  • Orrin Hatch loves the guy.
  • He is just a placeholder to call Republican Senate’s bluff
  • He will almost certainly side with Conservative justices.
