U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is testifying today at a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, and in doing so is helping to remind us why we can’t stand him.
GRAHAM: “Are you concerned that if a biological male is sent to a female prison, that could be a risk to female prisoners?”
GARLAND: "Every person in prison has to be dealt with dignity and respect.” pic.twitter.com/Gj0KswY88O

Transcript:
Lindsey Graham: “When it comes to federal prisons, are you aware that 1200 prisoners are requesting to be sent from a male prison to a female prison?”
Merrick Garland: “I’m not, no.”
Graham: “OK. Um, what is our policy when it comes to allowing a male prisoner to be transitioned into a female prison?”
Garland: “Uh, I think, uh, if you’re generally asking the question of how, um, trans people are dealt with in the Bureau of Prisons, my understanding, um, is that these are, uh, determinations about, um, uh, where they’re placed or where people are placed in general have to do with individualized determinations regarding the security of that individual, um, and the management of the prison, these are done on a case-by-case basis. That’s my understanding.”
Graham: “Are you aware of any policy guidelines that they use to make that determination?”
Garland: “I think there is a policy guideline along the lines that I just said, that, that, they are …”
Graham: “I would like for the Bureau of Prisons to send it to us. Are you concerned that if a biological male was sent to a female prison, that could be a risk to female prisoners?”
Garland: “I think every, uh, uh, person in prison has to be dealt with, uh, with dignity and respect. Uh, that determinations of the safety questions you’re talking about have to be made on an individualized basis.”
We get that the “Hon.” in front of his name is kind of the way these things are done, but truth be told, there’s nothing remotely honorable about Garland’s position.
Uh no, no they do not!

Putting rapey dudes in lady prisons isn't a problem if the rapey dudes understand that every person in prison has to be treated with dignity and respect but unfortunately there are some reasons why people typically end up in prison. https://t.co/fd67URo0gH

Nailed it.
Not an answer.

It’s not an answer. But it still says a lot about Garland. And none of it’s good.
We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: We really dodged a bullet when the Senate GOP filibustered his SCOTUS nomination.

I said something similar before I saw your comment.
Vy disconcerting stuff though. Agreed.
I ssuspect there will be plenty of female prisoners who will welcome any alleged trans male who can participate in more traditional male/female sex options.
If you assume that most of the female prisoners aren’t trans or lesbian, why wouldn’t they welcome some sex partners with open arms.???
His fear of speaking out tells us that the thing he is afraid of is really, really powerful. This is an AG for pete's sake.
I don't think what he is afraid of is necessarily an organization (though it may be in part). It seems organic, but I think it is certainly more than just societal mores.
This thing is like a dark cloud over our country. It is powerful and capable of destroying people without hesitation or compunction.
I can't think of another instance of such a power being exerted so that people in very powerful positions appear to be enslaved by fear of it.
At least in bolshevik Russia or Nazi Germany, there was a political mechanism behind the fear of speaking out. Here, it seems to be free floating.
But Scotland appears to be on the fringe, while the U.S. is Woke Central.
Good choice of words!
“Me? A Biologist?”
Highly appropriate terms, that I will hereafter use.
Sarah Huckabee substituted crazy for evil, but you’re correct.
There is no initial comment from you on this post. So, what were you going to say?
All new common ground with today’s Democrat party (which has been taken over by a fascist faction) involves capitulation to their war against our Constitution.
To clarify, I meant my initial comment within the same post, Post #8.
