Senate confirms Merrick Garland to be US attorney general
2021-03-11
Good thing that he'll now regain his memory of all his previous positions on the issues he couldn't remember hearing of or thinking about. It's a miracle!
Inevitable, but such a pity. Still, at least Senator Mitch McConnell refused to approve him for the US Supreme Court, so the honourable Mr. Garland has limited time in which to do harm.
[NYPOST] The Senate has confirmed Merrick Garland to be the next US attorney general with a strong bipartisan vote, placing the widely respected veteran judge in the post as President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
 has vowed to restore the Justice Department’s reputation for independence.Democrats have praised Garland, a federal appeals court judge who was snubbed by Republicans for a seat on the Supreme Court in 2016, as a highly qualified and honorable jurist who is uniquely qualified to lead the department after a tumultuous four years under former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
. Many Republicans praised him as well, saying he has the right record and temperament for the moment. The vote was 70-30.

Garland will inherit a Justice Department embattled by a turbulent era under Trump, who insisted that the attorney general must be loyal to him personally, a position that battered the department’s reputation. In the last month of Trump’s presidency, Attorney General William Barr resigned after refuting Trump’s false claims that widespread electoral fraud had led to his defeat.
Seems they forget Eric Holder as Oblahblah's "Wing man"
Trump’s pressure on officials, including on Barr and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the department’s probe into his campaign’s ties to Russia, prompted abundant criticism from Democrats over what they saw as the politicizing of the nation’s top law enforcement agencies.

#3  Sadly I think you are right, NMBS. Big question now is which way law enforcement and the Guard will go: Redcoats or minutemen?

#2  And the implementation for plans to disarm America begin to be put in notion at DoJ. A Lexington and Concord moment is coming to a village near you much sooner than you hoped. For Burgers who know anyone in ATF I hope you recommend a career transfer to some other 1811 rated position to avoid that tragic moment that might happen. Prepare for BS word salad to describe why you are going to be a felon and that the 2nd Amendment isn't really in effect due to the Insurrection that you obviously are supporting...
