1. enough of this crap!

Biden chose Garland for a reason...I'm with Biden

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. Time will tell if it was the right choice, and soon.

A lot of people wanted a determined, aggressive prosecutor like Kamala Harris as AG.

If the tRump criminal empire gets away with everything, we'll know Garland was the wrong choice, and this country will pay a heavy price. I don't like that possibility at all.

8. Time has told.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. How?

The criminal masterminds still walk free. MF45 still holds nazi rallies and scams his idiot public. Bannon & Co still incite the MAGAts daily with impunity. Statutes of limitations were allowed to pass on criminal charges that could easily have been won.

When they've been dealt the consequences, then we'll know Garland was the right choice. Not one minute sooner.

2. I trust Biden more than this tv pundit.

[Peregrine Took]

3. I don't know why Obama ever selected him in the first place. n/t

13. Obama selected him for a different job . . .

. . . The temperament of a supreme court justice or federal judge is very different from that of an Attorney General, who is the nation's chief prosecutor.

4. I trust Biden.

I liked him when his he first came on. But pray tell What does that have to do with what Trump did? Even the judge said,” Clinton was right!. Clinton lied about sex? Trump tried to o returna FREE ELECTION!

5. Mehdi Hasan is one of those leftists whose first instinct

is to attack Democrats. There are a lot of people like Mehdi, even some House Democrats, who think the real problem is the Democratic Party.

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. Spotlighting mistakes made by Democrats is not automatically an "attack".

We'd be better off if some Democrats would correct mistakes they've made. We have no chance at all of expecting republicons to do anything right, the only hope is to get Democrats to act for us.

11. Started to watch his show last night and lasted about 3 minutes as he teased 2 segments.

First he listed a bunch of crap Republicans are pulling and then asked the question why are Democrats not stopping this.

Then he immediately followed up with the why hasn't Merrick Garland done more.

[markpkessinger]

12. Oh, good grief!

Do you realize you sound exactly like those Republicans during the Obama administration that would accuse Obama of "blaming America first" anytime he dared to mention anything that might have been problematic about past U.S. policy? And it is every bit as ridiculous!

And It has nothing to do with trusting Biden or not trusting him. But Biden is merely a president; he is not some seer or prophet, endowed with all wisdome from on high!

The fact is that a LOT of people, from all over the political spectrum, have observed that Garland seems to have more the temperament of a judge than a prosecutor. That doesn't make him a bad guy -- it just means he may not be the best fit in his current role!

10. Perhaps

But the clock is ticking. Fast!
