Roadgeeky take on the new Supreme Court nominee

[dgolub]

As many of you probably heard, President Obama just named Judge Merrick Garland as his nominee for the Supreme Court to fill the seat of Justice Scalia.  It's still to be determined if the Republicans in the Senate will hold hearings to confirm him.  However, Long Islanders long ago decided that he would be a great justice.  That's why we have a town named after him, plus two of the most major streets in Nassau County: Merrick Road (CR 27) and Merrick Avenue (CR 4).

Not mention Clinton Road (Nassau CR 1) in Garden City.  The catch is that they're named after a different Clinton.  (Although when I was a little kid, I thought that Clinton Road was named after Bill Clinton.)

Which is in the Burlington, Vermont media market.

There's only one incorporated city with the name Sanders: Sanders, Kentucky (surprisingly not named for the Colonel). There's also Sanders County, Montana.
