I never understood why Obama nominated him to the SC and I haven't a clue why Biden selected him to be his AG. Seems like his number one priority is to avoid rocking the boat at all costs.

He pledged to appoint a black woman to the SCOTUS

Appointing Garland allowed him to appoint Ketanji Brown Jackson to Garland's seat. That is the only reason..

before the pressure becomes so in tense he has to leave. In my email I said that one of my expectations when PJB took office was that justice would return to DOJ and yet with every decision so far the trumpers have been defended or let off the hook as well as defending TFG against E. Jean and other matters. Where are the just desserts and consequences due?

Our democracy and the future of our nation depends upon it. I am fucking tired of the excuses and of them taking this lightly. This is no time to be polite and decorous.
