Philadelphia DA Is Doing What Garland Won't Do

[gab13by13]

Philadelphia's DA has sued Musk and his super pac for his lottery scheme that pays to register voters.

Included in the lawsuit is the claim that the lottery winners are not random seeing as the winners are all Pa. Republicans.

Meanwhile Webster's Dictionary is considering putting a picture of Garland to show the definition of "milquetoast." A picture is worth a thousand words.

1. Are you sure there's federal jurisdiction?

[Think. Again.]

3. If not, did garland send that letter as a friendly "heads up"?

[Ramsey Barner]

14. Krasner is suing under PA law in a PA court. There's a separate federal law on registration that Garland could use.

[Think. Again.]

2. I'm pretty sure the dictionary already correctly defines garland...

....as a non-functional, and purely ornamental, decorative swag.

[BonnieJW]

25. In German, that word is putz

[Blaukraut]

27. Or Schmuck :D n/t

[rubbersole]

4. But, but Orrin Hatch liked ol' Merrick....

[MadameButterfly]

29. which is why Obama nominated him when he didn't have a Democratic magority

in the Senate. Orin changed his mond when Obama agreed.

[dem4decades]

5. His dragging his feet allowed Trump to possibly get away with this shit.

[usonian]

6. We're searching all over.

[Mr.WeRP]

15. Lol

[orthoclad]

7. Why hasn't Biden fired Garland?

Serious question. There's the failure.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

10. It's Biden's fault?

Interesting take.

[orthoclad]

11. He has the authority and power to fire Garland and replace him,

which he should have done as soon as he failed to act on the criminal referrals from Congress.

Uncorrected failures of subordinates redound up the chain of command.

No-one elected Garland.

[Justice matters.]

19. Well, according to the 'new' Official Act Immunity ruling, he also

has the authority and power to arrest and deport the convicted felon to Gitmo in order to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States from the possibility he would trash it if he'd ever return to the White House by whatever means at his disposal, Electoral College or not...

Doesn't mean Dark Brandon will do it (he obviously will not, otherwise he would have done it already).

[Joinfortmill]

22. It's amazing how much you know about this. Would you be willing to share?

[orthoclad]

28. Yes.

Duh!

[Deminpenn]

13. No, but this is why one shouldn't

give important positions to people just because he or she got a raw deal as Garland did when McConnell held up his animation to SCOTUS.

[MadameButterfly]

30. One of his top contenders for AG was Doug Jones

I expect he was worried that Jones would be too political. Biden was trying not to exxacerbate the right wiht his AG appointment. He didn't realize then that he would get no credit for a moderat appt.

Doug Jones would have been Jack Smith 2 years earlier.

32. Garland is not the right person right now, how many ways does his inaction have to express that?!

[Joinfortmill]

21. A very good question. Let's stop and think about that...

[-misanthroptimist]

8. Garland is the worst

I truly hope it comes out that he's on the take from someone. That would at least explain his inaction on multiple fronts.

[Joinfortmill]

23. That is a mind boggling statement to make sort of 'off the cuff'. Wow.

[-misanthroptimist]

33. What can I say?

I prefer ordinary corruption to timidity. At least corruption shows initiative.

(Btw, I just watched like three of Brooksie's movies last week. )

[RJ_MacReady]

9. of course not

That would be "political" according to Garland.

[lees1975]

12. If Garland had acted when evidence was handed to him by Congress,

instead of being the Republican nominee, Trump would be enjoying the morning coffee break in Leavenworth.

[poli-junkie]

16. And Biden should have fired FBI director Wray.

[slightlv]

17. I think Obama had it about right...

you want someone cautious and aware if they're a judge; for an Attorney General, not so much. For that role, you need someone damned committed to the law and bringing lawbreakers to justice. IOW, a go-getter; a person who is operating from an ideal as much as from a career. I swear, ANYONE could have made a better AG than Garland, but I also think Garland would have made an excellent judge (perhaps that's why Turtle was so intent on keeping him off SCOTUS).

People can be greatly skilled in one area of a field, and horrible at another part of it; e.g., I made a great Network Administrator and also a really good tech support leader. What I could never do to a high level of skill is Network Security. My ideals don't align with it, in that everywhere I've been they come down more on people than on the equipment/SW. But those same ideals make me great at working with people of all ages and hierarchy, as well as make me pin point conscious of close work, like Admin.

[lees1975]

18. I don't know.

A justice has to be able to take a look at all of the evidence and has a limited time frame to render an opinion. I don't think the rest of the court could wait two years on a decision.

[slightlv]

20. LOL! Lee, you may have a very salient point! n/t

[comradebillyboy]

26. One of Obama's bigger mistakes was nominating Garland.

[republianmushroom]

24. It is taking a state court, Again.

45 months and counting 3 years 9 months

31. THIS !!! Melon Usk owns the DOJ to their faces too often !!
