Imagine him on the Supreme Court.
More evidence emerges that Attorney General Merrick Garland has allowed the Department of Justice to become outrageously politicized on behalf of liberal interests. Indeed, the nation’s chief law enforcement officer is breaking the law.
Nine months into the Biden presidency, Garland has yet to comply with a perfectly legitimate order issued by former President Donald Trump on his last day in office. The order, made in the worthy cause of public transparency, would declassify much of the material from the investigation into Russia’s efforts to help Trump win the presidency.\
Absent a countervailing public order by President Joe Biden, it is the absolute, lawful duty of Garland to comply with Trump’s order and with the senators’ demands. In this case, it would be highly improper for Biden to issue such an order, as it would amount to protecting his close political allies at the expense of the public’s right to know how its own government was compromised.
In thumbing his nose at a presidential order and at duly elected senators, Garland is on shaky ground. If Democrats in Congress cared, as they should, about their institutional authority rather than covering up what would be a short-term political embarrassment, they would join Republicans in insisting that Garland do his duty.
Garland right now is in violation of the law and in obvious contempt of Congress. If he continues this course, Congress should make a formal finding of contempt and President Biden should order Garland’s deputies to enforce it against their boss.
I was told (when 0bama nominated him to SCOTUS) that Republicans and Democrats both liked him, that he was moderate.
Another con job, which fortunately we didn’t get suckered into.
Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congess.
Nothing happened the, either.
Part of the problem or part of the solution?
You pick.
With him I would say pick your nose because something smells.
If you knew me and could see my surprised look, you’d notice that it looks remarkably like my not surprised look, which wouldn’t surprise you at all… If you knew me…
Must be a mistake!
When Mitch was urging GOPe tp vote for
Garland he described him as, “a balanced, fair, level headed moderate!” !!!?$%^*
If Garland is an unscrupulous UNIPARTY tool blatantly, illegaly, disobeying a legal order; THEN TURTLE IS A LIBERAL BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Garland is worse: he is using his power to loot.
Always follow the money.
^^^ @an ol exJarhead – yes, even though Mitch did a good job of pushing through the nominations of PDJT (I do hive him credit for that), MM is not a conservative. He is a “moderate”, meaning that he will side with whichever side has power.
The whole Justice Department is packed with scum sucking REgressives & communists.
Anyone with an ounce of patriotism & integrity would have jumped ship when Eric Holder let the baseball bat wielding Black Panthers off scot free.
Our institutions are just what the communists wanted.
Democrats have no reason to GAS.
Nor do they plan to relinquish their power.
Just as Holder was to Oblowme, Garland is to Biteme – his wing man.
Another smug, power-mad midget.
Corruption du jour. 🤮
Garland, it has turned out, is nothing more than a corrupt hack.
His ‘brilliance’ was as hyped as Hillary Clinton’s.
The DoJ is a tool of tyranny.
Remember Barr?
Lynch?
Holder?
Reno?
Sessions?
Meese?
All tools of oppression. All uninterested in the criminals in the House, the Senate, the White Hut, or the SCROTUS.
izlamo delenda est …
Merrick Garland himself has a host of ‘misdeeds’ under his pendulous belt from using illicit substances to pandering underage hookers. Not surprising his aged-out loud mouth is yapping about anything at all to distract from his personal abuses against others and illegalities.
