After seeing and hearing him for the first time today, I was stunned that this is the guy they made such a stink about! He looks and sounds like a feeble, old, partisan weasel.

There should have been a follow up question asking whether locking police in the station and trying to set it on fire while they were inside was terrorism. These republicans are so lame and uninformed.

If memory serves, they closed the courthouse down because of the riots in Portland. It was closed during the day. How/why can you differentiate this as if somehow they were keeping regular hours and a schedule during the day when the business of the court was shut down 24/7 because of the riots?

If McVeigh had only blown up the Oklahoma federal building on off hours.

Garland is just stupid enough to fit right in with the democrooks. There isn’t a one that could win anything legally.

These “confirmation hearings” have become a joke for both parties. The politicians pontificate and try to score partisan points and the nominees try to say nothing for the duration of the hearing and presto - the votes come in.

It is frightening that some of his nominees may be too extreme to slip through the process, but Garland is not one of those and the republicrats will also vote to confirm him.

Right, because normal courthouse operations can resume the next morning after being reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble.

Eggs Ackley!

...an attack on a courthouse, while in operation, trying to prevent judges from actually deciding cases, that plainly is domestic terrorism.

But if it's is successfully burned to the ground overnight, wouldn't all the files on the docket be burned also, the computer systems and databases destroyed, the judge's chambers and the courtrooms themselves destroyed...

How can a judge then decide a case the next day when it IS work hours?

How is THAT not terrorism? The terrorists/crminals achieved their goals!

“If I recall, the Oklahoma City bombing occurred before the courts were scheduled to open that morning.”

Were there people in the building? I think what Garland was trying to convey (incorrectly) is that attacking a government building when it is closed with no one occupying it is not an act of terrorism so much as a criminal act.

Any attacks against a government owned facility or feature (such as a statue) is a terrorist activity because it does in fact display an act of violence to promote a political agenda.

So by Garlands definition, 9/11 would not have been terrorism if it had happened on 9/9. Got it.

“I like you, I respect you, and I think you are a good pick for this job,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, early in a Monday hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Grassley is the top Republican on the committee.

“I think you’re a very good pick for this job,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who previously served as Judiciary chairman.
