He opposes Merrick Garland’s views on gun control and the death penalty, but Sen. John Cornyn of Texas plans to vote to confirm him for attorney general.

-snip-

“I’m sure he’s going to make some decisions that I’m not going to be happy about,” Cornyn said. “But I think he’s an honorable person.”

Cornyn said he will vote for Garland despite these differences.

“He’s probably the best we’re going to get,” Cornyn said.

He’s a constant disappointment unless you embrace RINO establishment types.

Bad, really, really bad. Like the song says, “If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.” Senator Cornyn, it looks that you’re not standing for a Constitutional Republic, but the abomination of Communist regime.

This is overtly revolting, it is horrible, and I pray that you do not do this. If anyone is threatening you or your family in any way, or if this is about money, you need to resign immediately and state why.

If you are truly a believer in Christ Jesus, you also need to understand, that persecution is here; we are in the Last Days before Christ’s Return, and persecution up to death can and will happen to some individuals and has been happening since the Lord Jesus was born (John the Baptist), lived among mankind, and since His Ascension into Heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father God.

Senator Cornyn, examine your heart and confess your sins, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, and profess your Salvation in Jesus to others to faith, and to witness the Gospel.

Death in Christ has no sting any longer, no victory over you, if you trust Him to save you. Be ready for your Sovereign God, Whose Beloved Son is coming so very soon.

Merrland Garlick is an “honorable” person? By what definition of “honor”?

We shall see a continuum of decisions made that shall make NO conservative happy.

Beginning with burying the Dunham report for all time. Nothing EVER that would exonerate Team Trump will see the light of day.

Remember that Texas when this pathetic “honorable” drip sends his hoods around to collect your guns you can thank your senator Corn in.

With the answers to Senators’ questions that I heard, I couldn’t understand how he was ever approved to sit on the Court of Appeals.

McConnell, Cornyn, Graham, Collins, Tillis, Murkowski, Romney, Lee, Toomey, Sasse, Burr and Grassley are- at the minimum- sure if not good bets to confirm Garland. That's more than the total Rat votes to confirm Trump's AG nominees. There's no fight in the "collegial" GAP (Grand Addled Party). Trump, if he stays, is the only steel spine the party has.

A clickbait web headline two days ago:

Biden Nominee Garland Says He Will Focus on Domestic Terrorist Pursuit.

Yeah. That means anyone who registered as a Republican, since Jan. 6th.

We already knew Cornyn was a domestic enemy of the Constitution. I can’t wait for this guy’s trial after the war.
