Today we’re celebrating Merrick Garland, who is an American jurist who could have been a Supreme Court Justice. While Merrick currently serves as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, in 2016 President Obama nominated him for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, but due to politics, he was never confirmed. We wanted to celebrate his birthday to showcase the moral Justice we could have had! Happy birthday, Merrick!
