Another distraction to try to keep focus on things other than the HORRIBLE ECONOMY.

Garland has become a power mad fanatic.
This happens when you surround yourself with Yes Men and Women who buy into the delusion that they are above reproach.

You got that right! Don’t want to think about what damage he would have caused if what he’s doing now is any indication.

What he’s really saying is that his justice department is above the law.

Garland and his accomplices are zealots.

Do not underestimate these people.

It is above criticism, at least so far. And given his attitude, he thinks our President’s “greatest voter fraud organization in history” is going to succeed again in November. (Not that I’m being critical of him or anything. Please make a note of that, Mr Agent.)

It needs to be understood that these people are out to make the US a Democratic Party-run country run on according to the precepts of Karl Marx, Eugene Debs and Upton Sinclair.

The Republican Party must make bold policy changes to stop Garland and his fellow travelers.

Relying on Trump’s coattails will not be sufficient.

Trump is likely to be wearing NY Department of Corrections clothing in the months before voting.

Relying on traditional Republican campaign marketing will not be sufficient. The Democrats will happily buy the votes of college graduates at $10,000 to $20,000 each.

The issues younger people face must be addressed. Perhaps by limiting estate tax deductions to student loan payoff and UK-style housing association funding.

The issues older people face must be addressed.

The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class property taxation, such as:

Property tax on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

Fighting for such a property tax cap now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

Even devoted Democratic voters do not want to get taxed out of their homes.

We also need to cap the ability of Democrats to buy votes by a middle-class income tax cap in the federal constitution.

Fighting for such a middle-class income tax cap now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

[perhaps]
Federal income taxation shall be capped as follows, on personal income:
below the average yearly apartment rent in the District of Columbia, 10%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the average upper quartile of federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average upper decile of federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 40%.

[Note: All percentages include employee FICA. They do not fully include self-employment tax, so people that pay SE tax might choose to voluntarily invest in the SS system or otherwise arrange for their own retirement funding.]

Not getting appointed to the Supreme Court may have something to do with it as well. Revenge for that insult.

Garland, et al, don’t THINK they’re above the law, they KNOW it . . .

He also thinks that all liberals and the whole liberal agenda from hell are above being criticised- going so far as to call moms who never did anything wrong or criminal labeled as “domestic terrorists” for resisting dei and crt

“come in the form of threats to defund particular department investigations, most recently the special counsel’s prosecution of the former president.”

It is my understanding that federal law requires special in-house DoJ people to prosecute national security document cases.

I don’t see that Jack Smith brings anything to the prosecutorial table.

“Before working at the DOJ, Colangelo worked for Attorney General Letitia James, who investigated Trump for three years before bringing a massive civil lawsuit against him and the Trump Organization in the fall of 2022.”

QUOTES via NPR

“I’m running for attorney general because I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president,” James said in another campaign video.

After winning office, James gave an interview to NBC News in December 2018 where she promised to “use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.”

QUOTES

James will be picking up where her predecessors left off. Former AG Eric Schneiderman — who resigned earlier this year amid abuse allegations — and current AG Barbara Underwood have taken more than 200 legal actions against Trump and his administration.

But she also hopes to succeed where they could not: passing a state law that would close the so-called pardon loophole. The change would allow the AG to prosecute those who’ve committed crimes in New York state, even if they’ve received a presidential pardon for federal charges.

James said she’s already discussed the legislation with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. And she raised the possibility Trump could vacate the office, and receive a pardon himself.

“If, in fact, Vice President Pence were to pardon President Trump,” she said, “clearly the office of attorney general — when the bill in Albany is passed — we will prosecute the president for crimes committed in New York state.”
