In reply to the discussion: Earth to Merrick Garland [View all]Orrex
(63,323 posts)60. Even more frustrating than Garland's apparent lack of interest in doing anything
is the troupe of cheerleaders who insult, belittle, and condescend to everyone who doesn't smile daily at their own Merrick Garland poster and say "You just take all the time you need, Mr. Attorney General."
They're quick to point out--even in this thread--that critics don't know what Garland is actually doing, as if they themselves have any idea of what Garland is actually doing.
But for mercy's sake, don't question The System! That would be even worse than letting the obviously guilty Trump walk free!

Garland should have remained a judge. McConnell prevented him being a SCJ which he should have been.

Question is not "when" rather it's "will" as in will he be given preferential treatment?
