Clinton Might Not Choose Garland for Supreme Court

Hillary Clinton said she wouldn’t be bound by President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, hinting that she would consider a bolder choice if she takes office in January with the seat still unfilled, Bloomberg reports.

However, she also said she wouldn’t ask Obama to withdraw Garland’s nomination after Election Day, leaving open the possibility he could be confirmed with her implicit blessing in a congressional lame-duck session.
