Obama names Merrick Garland to Supreme Court amid election clash
President Obama nominates appellate judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, challenging Republicans to block him or risk voter anger. Garland, 63, is praised as a centrist by Democrats while Republicans insist the next president should fill the vacancy left by Antonin Scalia. The move heightens a polarized debate as Clinton and Trump edge toward the White House race, with Senate control uncertain and implications for future confirmations.
