In reply to the discussion: WATCH: Merrick Garland bursts into laughter at GOP senator's question [View all]RussBLib
(9,006 posts)14. is it too much to ask
to have an Attorney General that sounds forceful and not timid? I often cringe when I hear Garland stumble and mumble and hem and haw, all with a quivering voice. Geez. It really sounds like he is about to cry half the time.
Toughen up, Merrick!
Yeah, yeah, I know, I am criticizing his style over his substance. I remember the old saying, "It's not what you say but how you say it." Superficial? Sure.
And very frustrating to listen to.

Bullshit Republican theater to politicize the memo, then attack the AG for doing the same.
