(21,421 posts)specifically how drumpf's comments relate to his job.
I have felt fighting things like the Barr memo may have had some justification... the idea that you remove any and all impressions that DOJ is not doing its job for "political reasons". In other words if you do everything even remotely reasonable for drumpf he can't turn around later and use DOJ's "hatred" of him in some sort of appeal.
But this... this is bullshit. There are some nuanced legal arguments I've seen made here tonight and you know what, they may be right, but this is still bullshit. This is a slap in the face from an administration (of which Garland is a large part) that ran on lifting up women. It was pathetic legal argument when they made it before, because Barr's DOJ was serving as drumpf's personal lawyer and cobbling together whatever flimsy legal argument they could to make it sound palatable.
Garland's DOJ is maybe trying again to make sure they aren't accused of exhibiting ANY bias against drumpf? But he's just going to scream it anyway, and I don't think anyone outside of the MAGA cult would have been saying it in this case, so let them scream. They're going to do it anyway.
The women that came to the polls to boot a rapist out of office and install our first female VP deserve better than this.
