When pressed by Senators on the legality of illegal border crossings, President Biden’s Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland revealed he “hadn’t thought about it.”

“Just a fundamental question. Do you believe that illegal entry at America’s borders should remain a crime,” Senator Dick Durbin asked.

Garland replied: “Well, I haven’t thought about that question. I just haven’t thought about that question.”

“I think, you know, the president had made clear that we are a country with borders and with a concern about national security. I don’t know of a proposal to decriminalize but still make it unlawful to enter. I just don’t know the answer to that question – I haven’t thought about it,” he adds.

I jut can't believe this!! And he was once nominated to be a Justice of the supreme Court?

And now - This is going to be our Justice Dept. leader and he can’t answer how he will deal with illegal entries? You mean he has never thought about illegal immigration in his over 30 years in office? Unbelievable!

How much are we paying this guy? This sounds like Pelosi, you’ll find out what I think once I get appointed.

I want to be nice, but I can't help but think that this guy is a fraud, huckster and pretty good at dodging a perfectly simple and RELEVANT question.

He’s to the left of Turban Durban? That’s pretty far left!

This guy has all the intellect of a nine year old.

I’m not even convinced he’s that bright.

One of the biggest political issues in the nation since 2006 and he has never thought about it!?

Take him at his word and reject him for being a moron. Too stupid to serve.

Well, the border invasions at night must, naturally, be NOT illegal...

In fact, any crime committed at night must be NOT illegal according to this Biden-sound-alike...

Just guessing he’s another in a very long line of “no-brainers” the liberals (composed of aging hippies in power and their adderalled and prozac’d kids and grandkids) want in positions of influence because they’re so amazingly dumb and easy to control.

I think all of these nominees were instructed how to act, what not to say.

Honestly, these people are not the brightest. Wolves in sheeps clothing.

When you ask a liberal a tough question, you’ll get a lie. It’s easier than having real character or taking a stand. It’s neither courage nor conviction.

Planet X got tired of his utter idiocy, so they stuck him in a pod and aimed him toward us. They don't make complete asses like this every day, you know.

Is there something about the word “illegal” that this rocket scientist doesn’t get?

Dear God, PLEASE spare us this evil and incompetence. Please remove these folks from office. We didn’t vote them it. They cheated their way in.

Thank god he didn’t make the Supreme Court. I remember all those lectures in the press how he was a moderate and a middle of the road, non-partisan jurist.

Laughable.

True, using the latest domestic terrorism rule. If it’s not open its not domestic terror as far as the anteefa and blm chaps breaking into a federal building. So it stands to reason a closed border that breaking into the country is fine.
