Merrick Garland! Neera Tanden! Xavier Becerra! The Dems are really overplaying their hand
By Patricia McCarthy
Merrick Garland, the man Obama wanted to put on the SCOTUS, is now President Biden's choice to be his attorney general. Based on what we heard Monday, we can breathe a sigh of relief that he never made it onto the Supreme Court.
But then again, those whom Trump did get confirmed for the court have thoroughly abdicated their responsibility, betrayed the oath they took as justices. With the exception of Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, it appears there are no other actual constitutionalists seated there.
But back to Garland. He evaded answering most questions posed by Republicans. He compared the January 6 events at the Capitol to the Oklahoma City bombing (168 killed)! He refused to condemn the billions of dollars in damage done by Antifa and BLM as domestic terrorism but vowed to prosecute all who were involved in the January 6 breach, even though the only person with a gun was the person who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt. It should be clear to every sentient American that what happened that day was carefully planned, not by Trump-supporters, but by their opponents, who strategized that a conflagration would be the perfect stunt with which to impugn the president.
