There's a faction of DU that seems to delight in pointing and laughing at those of us who believed. . .

27. " On the other hand, I have also learned / decided that we are, our own worst enemy." Which is it?

Learned or decided? At least we know who to attack before the next election cycle. Does this sort of argumentation actually serve a truth seek8ng rather than rhetorical function? “ As for Garland and the DOJ, the criticism you and others employ is so weakly based in nothing but your gut. Truly worthless imho.” This a weird way to say not only is the DOJ and a garland beyond reproach, but also the burden of proof lies with those who recognize a failure, not those who have failed. I’m not saying it’s Garland's fault but like almost any situation where one comes up short of one’s goals, revisiting why may be of service. This is a complex issue and to treat it otherwise only makes sense if you’re omniscient or have insider knowledge. I never thought I’d see such a large contingent emotionally set on defending an AG, whether effective or not. I’m guessing it’s institutionalism that you and others feel is more at stake. If so, maybe that should be your focus.
