Biden's opinion is the only one that matters on this Kaleva Jan 2025 #5

Joe Biden says he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland, documented in the Guardian. Intractable Jan 2025 #27

That isn't a direct quote Kaleva Jan 2025 #33

It has been widely publicized and not refuted. Intractable Jan 2025 #36

If democracy was truly on the line, should Biden have been concerned about publicity? Kaleva Jan 2025 #40

Every move Biden makes is under tremendous scrutiny. Intractable Jan 2025 #48

So, Biden keeping Garland on as AG was the best choice for this nation then Kaleva Jan 2025 #60

Again, Biden made these comments at the end of his administration. Intractable Jan 2025 #62

He is reported to have made comnents Kaleva Jan 2025 #63

"all we can do is accept reality" Intractable Jan 2025 #64

Biden will soon be out of the picture Kaleva Jan 2025 #65

Isn't Biden Garland's superior? Kaleva Jan 2025 #41

Nope, Biden has always been very clear he would not interfere with DOJ business. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #44
