In reply to the discussion: Who here thinks they are better suited to be Attorney General more than Attorney General Garland? [View all]Bucky
(55,334 posts)71. It's the internet; we're all baiters.
But, despite the fact that I mostly support Garland, I think it's bullshit to say DUers can't gripe about his apparent slow pace because they can't do better than him. They're disagreeing with Garland's policies, which is fair game. The OP is disagreeing with people for having the temerity to criticize Garland, which is an anti-free-speech argument. Different animals.
In a democracy, you're supposed to gripe when things aren't going your way. That's the whole point of popular government: keep our leaders on their toes and responsive to the voters' demands. If you don't get that, you're not a good democrat.

Really? And the threads calling Garland a weak ass do-nothing is not bait to those who support him?
