I gotta wonder if Garland is hoping tRump will pass away or be diagnosed with dementia.

96. I see, you are now willing to go along with the universally accepted definition for the rule of law,

but not its practice. I guess this is progress, but let me remind you that a short while ago you took several exceptions to following the rule of law, despite your lack of standing to presume any degree of competence in the matter:

You opined with contempt for the rule of law:
-"My point is that he [Nixon] should have been [subject of DOJ investigation], if the DoJ had been doing its job."

You assigned guilt in disregard for the rule of law:
-"Three years of probation "commensurate with the crime" in Agnew's case? People have spent longer in jail for stealing a car, not parole, jail, and that's both for an item of less value than the money involved in Agnew's crimes, and without it being a violation of a public trust...... As for Agnew, he was guilty of much more than failure to pay to pay taxes on $29,500"

You misconstrued the rule of law:
-"It's not at all unprecedented that imminent danger changes procedural norms, and it is not a violation of good legal practice to jail dangerous people before trial."

You showed disdain for the history of rule of law:
-"I didn't miss anything, I just didn't care. No way I was going to going through all of that long list [of SCOTUS decisions] to deal with a missing-the-point point you were trying to make"

And that's just in this thread.

You didn't merely question Garland and the DOJ, you presumed them to be biased and/or incompetent based entirely on your anxieties and the laughably inadequate record of precedents. Your lack of faith in certain institutions, which is subjective by any measure, does not permit you to presume foul play on their part. If you intended to merely question their ability to do their job right, you would have expressed doubts in their competence, not, as you did, certainty of its absence. And yes, I am acting as if you need to have some basis for your presumptions because you do. Nothing complicated, just something that goes beyond a bunch of arbitrary notions popping into your head.
