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.

“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.

Well, the Dems are bipartisan, so we should be too. /s

—apparently the big accomplishment of Garland is the prosecution of the “Oklahoma City bombers”—who could have been successfully prosecuted by my cat—

Senator Cornyn is a joke.

Bullsit. You'll be thrilled with them all. The more outrageous, the better you'll like it.

“But I think he’s an honorable person.”

Bullsh*t! And you know it you ass.

Cornyn wants his Amnesty for Illegals. He’s been trying for years.

Time to repeal the 17th Amendment yet?

Funny the Feds temporarily “misplaced” boxes of documents they should have given the defense earlier than they did.

I doubt it.

[Common Sense 101]

Never again will I vote for this worthless POS scumbag...

Senator Cornyn is a joke.

Yes, and freshly re-elected, unfortunately. We''l have to endure him for next six years.

[knarf]

What a dumb frikkin' comment.

He's not going to vote the way I'd like, but he'll be honorable in his doing so !

Hitler was sincerely convinced it was honorable to rid Germany, and then all of Europe of all undesirables.

No, y'don't need to thank him, it was his honor to do so.

These politicians are DISGUSTING!

As a group they are the reason this country, the experiment of America, is failing. Better explained as a cancer that is growing daily.

Follow the money.

Cornyn is one reason I doubt America will be able to pull out of this steep nosedive we are in. The ground is rushing toward us mighty fast. Faster than 10 seconds ago.

Divine intervention could turn us around. Nothing less will do.
