Appearance of corruption? You mean like failing to recuse one’s self from a SCOTUS case dealing with legislation that one’s wife has received hundreds of thousands of dollars to public argue and convince people is unconstitutional?
Merrick Garland, a brilliant lawyer and alumnus of the DOJ, has his work cut out for him after the dismantling of the department and politicalization during the Trump regime. Merely by following the law and refusing to be President Biden’s consigliere, Garland can reset the entire machinery of justice and restore respect with the judiciary and the public at large.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked Garland if he supported defunding the police, a phase Republicans have been eager to pin to Democrats of all stripes.
“President Biden has said he does not support defunding the police — and nor do I,” Garland replied, citing the …horror experienced by police officers at the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol
He also left on the table the possibility of prosecuting those who did not themselves ransack the Capitol but funded, organized or otherwise aided the mob. Democrats asked him point blank not to rule out investigating those individuals, and he affirmed he would follow where the facts took him.
Do you hear that, Virginia? You might want to get your affairs in order before your husband is forced to resign from the SCOTUS.
Can’t help but think it is wrong of me to think of this, but… Merrick Garland would not have made the cut with the eximpotus, since he didn’t really look the role.
It was donald trump who installed Mr DeJoy as Postmaster General and gave him instruction to fuck up mail delivery any way he could. We knew this well before the election and it’s why I hand delivered my ballot on October 8th,2020 because I didn’t want DeJoy’s lackeys losing it. It’s not the ballots that are messed up, it’s delivery of the mail that was the problem, Judge Thomas. Clarence, look to trump and DeJoy…they were the problem. Mail voting in the time of a dangerous disease is an intelligent option that should be encouraged and not turned into a political cudgel.
trump was the problem and DeJoy is still in office.
Still feels like a massive weight off the shoulders that I don’t wake up to some crazy shit that might make WWIII into a hot war instead of the cold one we’ve been in that he inherited.
