In reply to the discussion: Ties Between Biden and Merrick Garland Deteriorate [View all]ecstatic
(35,082 posts)To be 1,000% honest, I think it should have been KH for AG, Cory Booker or Gavin newsome for VP. Merrick Garland is not a leader. He believes in outsourcing every task, and he's far more concerned about what repugs think than doing the right thing. Under his watch, my right to vote remains in peril, police brutality is still rampant with no resolution in sight, states have passed laws that are severely endangering women, and now President Biden's only remaining son is facing charges that no one else would be charged with.
And when I say that Garland isn't fit for duty, it's not meant as an attack on President Biden. Biden made what he thought would be a good decision. We all make mistakes. Obviously it would be too messy for Biden to try to fire him. But Garland knows he's not up to the job--he doesn't want to be involved or get his hands dirty. He should resign so that someone who is willing to do the things that need to be done can step in.
Of course, this is just my opinion and people are free to disagree with it.
