Merrick Garland Selection for Supreme Court Nomination was Set at 5-1 Odds

Merrick Garland has been selected by US President Barack Obama for Supreme Court Justice.  Bookmaker.eu was offering odds of 5-1 on this nomination. 

Sri Srinivasan had been the 2-1 favorite to be selected by the US President.

Obama called Garland, the chief judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, "one of America's sharpest legal minds" and deserving of a full hearing and Senate confirmation vote.

Republican leaders, however, have already vowed not to take up a vote on any Supreme Court nominee until after the Presidential elections in November.
