Napolitano: Obama's SCOTUS Choice a 'Lose-Lose'

President Barack Obama's choice for the Supreme Court is possibly the "most conservative nominee" picked by a Democratic president in modern years, and it's obvious he was chosen to "pry loose Republicans," Judge Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday.

"He is not Justice Elena Kagan," Napolitano told Fox News' Bill Hemmer on the "America's Newsroom" program about Obama's SCOTUS choice, U.S. Court of Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland.

"He is not Justice Sonia Sotomayor. He does not think about the law the way Barack Obama does, so Barack Obama does not get the opportunity to appoint Antonin Scalia's opposite number."

Napolitano said he knows Garland professionally, and described him as a "consummate Washington, D.C. insider" who has worked for both Republicans and Democrats.
