Description: As Supreme Court justice

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] And today, after completing this exhaustive process, I've made my decision. I've selected a nominee who is widely recognized not only as one of America's sharpest legal minds but someone who brings to his work a spirit of decency Modesty, integrity, even- handedness, and excellence. These qualities and his long commitment to public service, have earned him the respect and admiration of leaders from both sides of the island. You ultimately bring that same character, the bearer on the Supreme Court. An institution in which he is uniquely prepared to serve immediately. Today I am nominating Chief Judge Merrick Brian Garland to join the Supreme Court. [ APPLAUSE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
