I wonder who the chief judge is in the circuit where all of the fights between Congress and Trump will play out and whether he cares about partisan norm-busting. Oh that's right...it's some guy named Merrick Garland.

Trump will go after him too, being that Merrick Garland was an Obama nominee for the Supreme Court that McConnell blocked. Thus praising McConnell.

Not going to work out nice for either of them.

By behaving as if federal judges are motivated by personal vendettas.

This sort of bullshit is essentially designed to undermine confidence in the democratic institutions we are looking to uphold.

Garland is not corrupt. Stop selling the notion that he is.

Merrick Garland will defend the Constitution, while Trump and McConnell do not.

If it comes to a Garland decision I have no doubt that he will rule in favor of the Constitution and the Law!
