Sure looks like Garland blew it....

177. You prove it and send me a link. I looked many times!

This is what I find:

Merrick Garland's political party affiliation is not publicly stated, and he is not known to be a registered Democrat or Republican. He is widely considered a moderate and judicial centrist, and his career as a judge has been marked by a reputation for being meticulous and for building consensus. He was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Bill Clinton and later appointed by President Joe Biden to serve as the United States Attorney General.

You said that I prefer a bad faith narrative over fact checking, I will accept your apology.
