I wonder who the chief judge is in the circuit where all of the fights between Congress and Trump will play out and whether he cares about partisan norm-busting. Oh that's right...it's some guy named Merrick Garland.

Not going to work out nice for either of them.

This sort of bullshit is essentially designed to undermine confidence in the democratic institutions we are looking to uphold.
Garland is not corrupt. Stop selling the notion that he is.
