Biden to name Merrick Garland for attorney general
By Brett Samuels and Zack Budryk - 01/06/21 12:22 PM EST

President-elect Joe Biden has selected Merrick Garland, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and a former Supreme Court nominee, as U.S. attorney general, according to a person familiar with the decision.

Garland beat out other candidates on the shortlist, including former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and onetime deputy attorney general Sally Yates.

Then-President Obama previously nominated Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) never allowed a vote on Garland and the seat was ultimately taken by Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017.

I would think he’s be on the short list for the court packing project.

Why not pick Jeff Sessions?
Or Barr for that matter?
Why not pick any so called 'Republican'?
They are just as weaselly as any Democrat.

And they will give the Democrats cover.
If I was Jill, I would pick a slimly weasel Republican.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Man I would love to see Biden's  long list.  The others riding that bench must have been spectacular.
