U.S. Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland praised lawyers for their work with low-income Washingtonians yesterday in his first public remarks since his nomination last month, The Associated Press reports. The appearance at the federal courthouse in Washington – where he is the chief judge of the appeals court – was part of the White House’s effort to familiarize the public with him. Garland has met with roughly 40 senators so far, but there are no signs that Republicans will allow hearings on his nomination.
