Todd Wilcox: Merrick Garland Nomination to Supreme Court a 'Sideshow'

Businessman and Army veteran Todd Wilcox, now running for the Republican nomination in Florida for the U.S. Senate race, expressed his opposition to President Barack Obama nominating Judge Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

"Let's be clear about what is at stake here: President Obama has spent seven years trampling on our Constitution - going after gun rights, states' rights, religious freedom and the privacy rights of each and every American,” Wilcox said on Wednesday. “Today's nomination sideshow is Obama's swan song attempt to destroy the basic rights on which this country was founded once and for all. Senators must fight this until the American people have an opportunity to put in place conservatives who, like Justice Scalia, understand the basic principles of liberty and freedom as enshrined in our Constitution by our Founders from this nation's very beginning."
