If Biden Nominated Merrick Garland For The Supreme Court........

[ChoppinBroccoli]

..........would that get him out of the AG's Office so Biden could replace him with someone who's a little more interested in doing the job?

1. The suggestion that Merrick Garland is not interested in doing the job

is, to be kind, evidence that you do not understand the job of the Attorney General.

[canetoad]

3. +1

And I get that despite being an antipodean.

[shanti]

18. Learned a new word, antipodean

thank you

[Ocelot II]

5. Quite a bit of that going on around here, unfortunately.

There seems to be a misapprehension that the AG is supposed to announce every move wrt an investigation to the public, and the fact that he isn't telling all must mean that nothing is happening.

[elleng]

6. Right.

'Rather' surprising.

I'm not the OLDest person here, likely didn't receive the BEST education anywhere in the U.S., but the ignorance is astounding.

22. +100. nt

[Sneederbunk]

2. Yes, but it would put Biden in the doghouse.

[former9thward]

4. Garland is far, far too old for a SC nomination.

He was too old when Obama nominated him.

[tritsofme]

7. This isn't a serious idea, just an excuse for another gratuitous slam at President Biden and Garland

[brooklynite]

8. So you want someone you think isn't doing his job to become a Supreme Court Justice?

Think about that for a minute.

[helpisontheway]

10. He is too old to be a nominee for the Supreme Court

I would not mind if Biden replaced him as AG.

[LonePirate]

11. Biden should not nominate anyone over 45, and preferably not over 40, to SCOTUS.

Garland is too old for the job. We need to put justices on the court who will server for 30-40 years.

[Polybius]

12. When has a Justice not been over 40?

Even Thomas wasn't that young.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. I had no idea that Merrick Garland is a Black woman.

[JohnSJ]

17. A black Jewish woman

[orleans]

14. lol nt

[greenjar_01]

15. Ay yay yay

[iemanja]

16. He could just fire him

that would get rid of him. Garland isn't going to be nominated. Biden has been clear that he wants a black woman. He promised Clyburn.

[FeelingBlue]

19. Do not assume

that someone of Garland’s character and history is sitting on his hands. I think he is diligent, careful and patriotic. There’s a lot to wade through. Let’s trust that he’s the right person for this moment. After losing out on the SC nomination, I doubt he’s going to fail us now.

[Demsrule86]

20. Absolutely not...Garland is to old to put on the court first of all...and secondly, if Biden

wanted Garden out, he could fire him.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

21. .....

[mcar]

23. ...

[LizBeth]

24. I never wanted him in SC any more than AG. I imagine he would be as middle of road

in that position as the other and our SC is already tilted way too far to the right. And it is a forever position.

[DeeNice]

25. just stop.
