Don’t care who Biden puts as AG as long as their first order is to unleash the SDNY on the Trump Crime Co.

I was kinda hoping Biden would nominate a rabid wolverine for this position.

Look, the state of NY wants the Trumps and I say let the state have them. Letitia James wants them so bad - including Ivanka.

Yeah, OK…that works for me.

He’s actually a moderate sort of judge from what I recall. Not some “flaming liberal” as Republicans would love everyone to believe. That’s why the Pukes were OK with voting him onto the DC Court of Appeals by such a wide margin, 76-23. Of course that was 1997, aeons ago in the life of an aging pucker-faced turtle. It was only when Obama wanted to elevate him to SCOTUS that they somehow manage to forget all that because…reasons.

Is he also extremely pissed off? Maybe, vendetta-curious?

Rather see a career prosecutor in the job, but Merrick Garland is as good a non-prosecutor as you’ll find. The AG will have lots and lots of prosecutors working for him/her. And he does have prosecutorial experience.

A Republican Senate will vote against him…just because they want to rub it in again.

Going through the list I liked the fact that Sally Yates was on the list, until I got to Doug Jones. Not I’m conflicted.

What on earth? Let’s lose a circuit court seat that McConnell will never let us replace. That sounds like a brilliant idea.

Let’s see if McTurtle tries to pretend he can deny Garland another confirmation hearing for yet another job. What bullshit will he come up with this time?
