Also felonies: Disorderly conduct, Curfew and loitering, and public drunkenness.

Where do you live that any of those are felonies?

Google isn't helping with all the Merrick Garland-related results, isn't there a notable old-school Republican Senator who thinks that any nominee should be rubber-stamped through the Judiciary Committee for the whole Senate to vote on?

Or did whoever it was change his tune when MG came along?

Orrin Hatch might be who you're thinking of.

So his argument about how companies can't be sued under the Alien Tort Statute is that at Nurnberg the Allies put the individuals leading the companies on trial and not the companies themselves? Doesn't that seem a little short sighted? Like the justices could say "companies can't be sued under ATS but the plaintiffs are free to sue individual executives and owners on a personal basis" which seems like a much worse outcome for his clients.
