President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, has been hailed by the press as the quintessential moderate jurist: “moderate in his politics as well has his demeanor” (New York Times); “eminently reasonable” (Washington Post); “a middle-of-the road judge who has avoided strong ideological opinions” (Wall Street Journal).

Whatever one’s opinion on the matter — our Kevin Williamson takes a rather dim view — it’s clear that the president felt the need to reassure his left-wing base that Garland wouldn’t be, y’know, all that moderate when it comes to protecting that most important sacred cow of the Left: abortion.

How do we know this? Well, just minutes after President Obama’s Rose Garden announcement and press gaggle, Politico reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere caught sight of Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards heading into the West Wing.
