Merrick Garland Reminds Us Regularly Why He’s Never Deserved To Sit On The Supreme Court
The Federalist ^ | 08/15/2023 | Shawn Fleetwood

Attorney General Merrick Garland once again reminded the country on Friday why he has never deserved to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS).

With evidence mounting of Joe Biden’s role in his family’s foreign business ventures, Garland announced the launch of a special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden for purported criminal activity. According to the Biden-appointed attorney general, the investigation will be led by David Weiss, the same U.S. attorney who concocted the now-derailed sweetheart plea agreement granting Hunter — and by default, Joe — immunity from future federal charges.

Unsurprisingly, Garland did not take any questions from reporters following the announcement.

While legacy media will undoubtedly claim Weiss’s appointment is “proof” America doesn’t have a two-tiered justice system, Garland’s launch of a special counsel investigation confirms exactly that. Special counsels aren’t immune from congressional oversight. But don’t be surprised if and when Weiss uses the investigation to stonewall House Republicans’ oversight efforts by trotting out the infamous “I can’t comment on ongoing investigations” line.

The special counsel isn’t just designed to investigate the Bidens; it’s to protect them from future Republican-led inquiries.

Egregious as it is, Friday’s maneuver is hardly the only instance in which Garland has taken overly politicized actions to benefit Democrats. The Biden appointee has regularly abused his powers to protect his political allies and target any American who stands in the way of the left’s authoritarian agenda.

Keep in mind that it was Garland who instructed the FBI to target parents at school board meetings under the false premise they were domestic terrorists. It was also his DOJ that recently attempted to imprison Mark Houck, a Christian father and husband arrested by the FBI, for protecting his son from an angry abortion activist.

And who could forget how Garland and the DOJ stood by and did nothing when left-wing anarchists showed up at the homes of Republican-appointed SCOTUS justices to harass and intimidate them into upholding Roe v. Wade? Or the agency’s similar inaction when leftist criminals were firebombing crisis pregnancy centers after the court’s draft majority decision in Dobbs got leaked?

After all, why charge violent street communists when you can just indict your boss’s leading political rival ahead of a major election (twice)?

Garland’s abuse of federal law enforcement not only exemplifies why he should be impeached; it demonstrates why he has never deserved to sit alongside honorable justices like Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. While figures such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deserve credit for keeping Garland off the highest judicial body in the nation, they deserve equal scorn for suggesting this man should be anywhere near federal office.

Unlike Thomas or Samuel Alito, Garland isn’t interested in interpreting the Constitution as written or ensuring it is applied equally among the American people. Rather, he views the law as a weapon that can be molded and manipulated to advance Marxism throughout the U.S. legal system.

If his 2016 SCOTUS nomination had been successful, there’s no reason to believe Garland’s jurisprudence on the high court would be any different than the judicial activism displayed by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. His stint as attorney general proves he’s more interested in weaponizing the law than interpreting it and shows the country why he should never be allowed to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

They want us to know, in no uncertain terms, that all we have to do to be safe from indictments and persecutions, is to be Democrats and vote for Democrats.

They WILL NOT ALLOW any opposition to them or their policies.

A fundamental transformation of America.

We got one past the goalie in 2016. They’ve been screaming and systematically blocking all oppositions to their power since.

The other 3 Dems on the court are just as corrupt as Garland.

The one thing that McConnell has done right in his time in the Senate is keeping this leftist shitheel off the USSC.

Are we sure he isn't doing even more harm where he is now?

With this cynical move, Merrick Garland has outdone himself as a corrupt piece of work. He has no respect for the people of the United States or for the fair administration of the law or even the appearance of such.

One thing (probably the only one) we can thank Mitchie McConnell for was refusing to even consider Garland when the kenyan nominated him.

Garland is a damaged twisted soul not fit to be a first year public defender, let alone AG.

The three baby killing Sodomite women on SCOTUS are there because of their gender, color, or ethnic origin....not ability.

The RINO woman is there for no less a reason.

All are lightweights and not fit for traffic court.

But what do I know.

Garland does have one fairly rare distinction.
He’s a member of both the Chicago Political Mob and the Clinton Crime Family.

And he also raises his middle finger as he does more damage as AG then he could have as one vote on the court.

Yep. I gladly give the turtle credit for that. Just as I gladly give the late Arlen Specter credit for getting Justice Clarence Thomas through the supreme court hearings.

Every case Garland ever tried or presided over should be reviewed for evidence of corruption. Take for example, his handling of the Oklahoma City Bombing case. Though McViegh and Nickols appeared quite guilty, giant signs screamed “coverup” of involvement by others, likely government operatives who slipped the leash. The Jamie Gorelick protege has no integrity and has proven himself unfit for any office. Impeach and remove.
