I find it hard to believe that the average poster on 4chan's /pol/ board works at a gas station. Unless you're telling me that the median gas station employee makes $72,000/year. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/...

I was hoping for a good faith discussion of this article, but it seems I was mistaken.

This is spin, pure and simple.

A cursory glance at the page you link to tells a dramatically different story than the one you're telling. John Roberts was originally nominated to replace Sandra Day O'Connor. Then Rehnquist died and Roberts was renominated to become Chief Justice.

In the case of Harriet Miers, everyone was opposed to her, including the right who called her unqualified. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10...

No one is saying that Merrick Garland is unqualified. It's a naked political ploy with no modern (or historical?) precedent.

    —regardless of nationality or legal
    status—are less likely than the
    native population to commit violent
    crimes or to be incarcerated

Of all the comments you could possibly post, ranging from concerns about the 1st or 4th amendments, to arguments in favor of what this article posits, "Palantir is hardly a startup" is what you take away from this article?

It is extremely notable that the words "Iraq" and "Afghanistan" only appear once each in this article.
