One question; Why did President Biden stand by him for 4 years? MichMan Oct 2025 #29

Until recently Presidents didn't interfere with ongoing investigations Joinfortmill Oct 2025 #33

This isn't a Law & Order episode. You're such a defeatist. Patience, grasshopper. Garland's got this. Scrivener7 Oct 2025 #2

OMG Skittles Oct 2025 #4

Oh, some still insist they were right all along, and Garland was actually totally speedy and effective. Scrivener7 Oct 2025 #5

Exactly. NewHendoLib Oct 2025 #12

Media still timidly, and with an abundance of caution, calls Fascists "authoritarians" goddammit. RVN VET71 Oct 2025 #31

The media should be hysterical with the nazi fascist language. Like they were with Biden's terrible debate. Clouds Passing Oct 2025 #60

Or a centrist independent like Cuomo. Emile Oct 2025 #57

Back in Texas a half century ago markodochartaigh Oct 2025 #125

Wrong. Merrick Garland, born in Chicago, was a Democrat when he was a private citizen in Chicago. ancianita Oct 2025 #148

Prove it. ancianita Oct 2025 #149

That's the problem, he keeps his political leaning private. Emile Oct 2025 #172

Garland was one of Obama's poorer choices. comradebillyboy Oct 2025 #59
