Merrick Garland appears set for confirmation after Senate hearing
aol ^ | February 22, 2021 | CHRISTOPHER WILSON

Five years after failing to give him a hearing as a Supreme Court nominee, Republican senators were generally cordial in their questioning of Merrick Garland, President Biden’s nominee for attorney general.

“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.

Two traitors to the American people—Grassley and Graham. Merrick Garland has shown himself to be clueless and quite possibly senile, yet two “Republican” senators think he’s perfect to head the DOJ. MARK WELL, America, the astounding perfidy of these two RINO clowns!

We gave the Republicans our vote. Massive voter fraud happened and no one seems very interested in rectifying it.

If they somehow feel forced into voting for Garland and Beccera, they have only themselves to blame for not being in power. Because we gave them the vote.

L. Graham loves him.

I don’t.

Garland web headline yesterday: “Biden AG Pick will Focus On Domestic Terrorism”.

So we slowly endure four long years of Sessions and Barr, with Durham, watching for justice. Glaciers moved two full inches, outpacing their progress. We are cheated and betrayed by the Deep State agents instead.

Now we will watch breathtakingly fast action to hurt conservatives and hush them up in a chilling effect from frame jobs and prosecutions.

...Merrick Garland has shown himself to be clueless and quite possibly senile...

This is exactly why he is a great candidate for Attorney General.

Do you really want Biden to appoint someone who is youthful and energetic, but shares Biden's worldview?

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

“Two traitors to the American people—Grassley and Graham.”

They let the mask slip. It happens. The GOPe doesn’t mind.

Doesn’t matter who is nominated for Attorney General. Do you really think that Biden and his handlers will nominate an honest candidate? These are all cookie-cutter candidates from the Obama era mould. I am surprised they did not want to reappoint Barr.

Great! And yet all the Democrats stuck like glue every time Trump would nominate a person to a particular position. They would not budge yet our spineless sickening weasels always always bend wherever the wind blows when it’s the Democrats who need their votes! I’m sick of it.

This hateful partisan will be as much fun to watch as Holder. But we may be watching it from jail or a re-education camp if he gets his way. And don’t expect groups like antifa and BLM to be labeled as “domestic terrorists”. That will be us- conservatives, Patriots, regular working people raising families.
Oh yeah, this guy will be a delight.

And we just got one step closer to a full Stalinist state.

This is obscene.

He gave all the wrong answers, and the Republicans in diapers got in line to fawn over him.

No questions on National Security regarding Hunter and James Biden, or with a President with Dementia.

There is no opposition party.

Where is the Resistance campaign from the GOP?

Pathetic

During Trump’s presidency, McConnell and the Senate GOP held roll call votes to break a filibuster and end debate on nominees a whopping 314 times, according to Senate tallies. All previous presidents combined faced 244 roll call votes to advance nominees over a filibuster.

And here we are, back to normal, with Republicans drooling all over Xiden’s unqualified nominees.

Expect the following after he gets confirmed:

1. No prosecution of any illegal immigrant even with criminal records.

2. The dissolution of the Durham investigation into the Russia Hoax.

3. Aggressive investigation into the January 6 “insurrection” ( Note the quotes ), while downplaying any riots from Antifa and BLM

4. Aggressive prosecution of any incidents of bias and discrimination ( as per Garland’s definition) against any organization (religious or otherwise) that refuses to serve or recognize gay marriages anywhere in the country.
