Bernie Sanders vs. Barack Obama

President Obama and Bernie Sanders disagree on many things. One of them is Obama’s latest supreme court pick Merrick Garland. Bernie explained what he would like to do if elected President. Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore, and Maz Jobrani (Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Vermont Sen. and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said he fully supports President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, 63-year-old Judge Merrick Garland. But should Sanders become president-elect in November, he would ask Obama to withdraw his nomination, he said Thursday night in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. The self-described Democratic socialist would want a justice who’s more progressive than Garland…

“I have said over and over again that I do have a litmus test for a Supreme Court justice,” Sanders said to Maddow. “The justice must be loud and clear in telling us that he or she will vote to overturn this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. I am very worried about the future of American democracy and about the ability of billionaires to buy elections. That is my litmus test and that’s what I would insist on.””*
