Twenty Republicans joined Democrats to confirm Garland

Judge Merrick Garland will be the next U.S. attorney general after the Senate confirmed him with a vote of 70 to 30.

Garland received bipartisan support during his confirmation process from both Democrats and Republicans.

"Judge Garland's unshakeable commitment to serving his country is deeply rooted in who he is," Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to recommend Garland's nomination. "He fundamentally grasps that America's greatness rests in our bedrock principles of justice and the rule of law."

When a Republican is trying to get someone confirmed, the Dems present a unified front against.

Not so when it’s the other way around.

What I was thinking. Silver lining, cloud, and all that.

According to Merrick himself, when pressed, he doesn’t know much about anything on a variety of subjects especially ones involving the law.

Compare that with Barr’s confirmation.

So, there are 20 Republicans in the Senate who agree that it’s not terrorism if it’s at night. Good to know.

Plus there was some kind of a 30 hour rule invoked during most/all of President Trump’s nominee confirmations. No other Senate work could go on until the 30 hours were completed. How can Rinos, especially McConnell, hate our country that much?

Funny how the dems fought every appointment down the line. Blue slips, 30 days of interviews, PR to the dem controlled press....on and on.

In the over all scheme of things after just passing an almost 2 trillion catastrophe of a spending bill it is small potatoes. We are now officially over the cliff, heading straight down into the chasm with nothing to stop the final death to America as we know it. With Jerry Mahoney at the helm, there is no turning back.

“Bipartisan vote”

Was there any cooperation on Trump’s nominees?!

NO.

It was character assassination, hoaxes, yelling, screaming, nuts’n’slutz, always topped by a straight party line vote...which only worked because the R’s had the Senate.

WHAT are these MORONS doing cooperating with this illegitimate “administration”?

As if they had actually won.

There should not be a SINGLE Republican vote for ANY Biden nominee on the basic principle that Biden has no right to either the office OR a Cabinet!!
