Bot-created subpage

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Merrick B. Garland was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 22:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-established that page as a redirect page to this article. --TommyBoy (talk) 02:07, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Religion?

Since MBG is oft-mentioned as a replacement for Justice Stevens, I am curious if anyone has a source to corroborate the assertion in this ABA Journal article that he is Jewish. Obviously, "diversity" of the Justices is now a topic of great interest. -- Y not? 18:51, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he's Jewish, see CNN or LA Times. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why does his religion even have to be mentioned? Is religion for each judge in Wikipedia?

Supreme Court nomination

It will be a busy day for this article, but I wanted to note I semi-protected the article after a blitz of anonymous editing added incorrect info. It is set to expire after a week. -- Fuzheado | Talk 14:55, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated by Obama

He got the nomination from Obama in match 2016 as Trump won the GOP primary. Two guys with opposite views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.139.193.163 (talk) 15:01, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
