I will neither confirm nor deny that I ever saw Merrick Garland…

Merrick who?

Heaven forbid they snap a few shots of him going about acting like a proper statesman who understands his job. If the people he relies on to keep his paychecks coming see it they’ll throw him out of office!

Good lord…how stupid do they think voters ARE? ‘I am running for re-election so I will meet with candidates but I am beholden to my corporate masters and the whims of my party so I won’t advocate for sht and there will be no pictures to say I did!’

Interesting contrast to the interview with Senator Collins.

Does he really believe that no one will notice? Then why did he hold the interview in the first place?

Sometimes, no matter how distasteful the medicine is you have to brace yourself, swallow it, and pretend you’re grateful for the opportunity to move forward.

So brave! So true! So upstanding! Who knows? Maybe Garland gave him cooties.

I believe the proper journalistic term for this type of action is “bitch move”.

I thought I would never in my life see any man who could manage to make Ted Cruz seem attractive. Apparently, I was wrong.

If they aren’t already, I hope the DNSC immediately targets each one of the GOP Senators meeting with Mr. Garland with lots of campaign money.

Typical cowardly Republican know-nothing on the public dole.

To paraphrase another AR politician…

I did not have confirmation discussions with that nominee.

Profile in courage. This from someone empowered to vote on a war resolution. He can send your sons and daughters to face shrapnel but he can’t face a camera.

So, what happened? He walks Judge Garland into his office, shuts the door and says, “Don’t bother sitting down - you ain’t gonna be here that long. Just wanted you to know that I have a job I want to keep. That’s to prevent you from getting yours. Good talking to you.”

Another GOP profile in courgage. Pretending to do their job (I suspect Sen. Boozman couldn’t recite a single conversation he supposedly had with Judge Garland), too afraid to speak to the media and too fearful of their racist base to let the President do his job.

Garland should of given him a black eye before he left —

Boozman would of been “forced” to decline any knowledge of how it got there —

Because giving his opponent an opening to call him a coward as well as a hypocrite will do great things for his popularity with voters.

Pathetic. Boozman’s got to hide any semblance of sane procession of his constitutional responsibilities. He’ll get a nasty phone call from BMitch McConnell accusing him of collaborating with sanity.

Yuck.
