I would say to my Republican colleagues: Listen to the people who view themselves as Independents in this country. folks who dont carry a party label. They are saying overwhelmingly that Merrick Garland is entitled to a hearing before the U.S. Senate. He is an extraordinarily wellqualified man. There is no credible justification to refuse to give him a hearing. Merrick Garland was born in Chicago. His father ran a small business. His mother volunteered in the Rogers Park neighborhood. He was the grandson of immigrants who fled antiSemitism in the Pale of Settlement in Russia. They came to America in the early 1900s. Judge Garland grew up in Lincolnwood.
