Biden chose Garland as his Attorney General as some old man gotcha due to the supreme court steal instead of choosing someone capable and effective who wasn’t a Republican. He is just as responsible for the lack of action by the DOJ and that can’t be forgotten.
Garland is a Democrat. In HINDSIGHT it was a foolish choice but I understand why Biden did it; he was angry at how Mitch McConnell and GOP cheated MG of a SC seat. Garland wld have been great as a SC Justice, slow & deliberate. I don’t think anybody cld have foreseen what a Dunce he wld be as AG.
We know why. Yes garland wld have been a great just. a very poor choice for what was needed from tAG for the integrity of the country. I’m tired of making excuses for old guys protecting old guys. I think Biden did a great job on other Fronts. But he blew needed changes to the Sup Court & the AG.
He should have canned Garland once it was clear what wasn't going to happen. And I'm going to throw some shade at Obama (who I love) for not insisting RBG retire and "ramming in whoever he wanted, however that looked."
We've paid way too much for "norms."
