Probably just as well that Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court failed.
No doubt he would have been as profound a disappointment there as he has been as U.S. Attorney General.
It’s crazy how people clamor to be trumps best friend. It’s similar to giving the rich free stuff all the time just for the hope of them keeping you in mind for future projects. That’s what congress is doing now. We need term limits.
I listened to a documentary on NPR in 2018, it was an analysis on how trump wins. His tactic is always the same, delay, delay, delay. You wear down the financial resources or determination of your opponent. We all know trump doesn’t pay his bills unlike the rest of us so he can continue this tactic.
3/4 future tax breaks? Maybe you mean the democratic party who didn't run a single peo democracy ad or pro Kamala ad or anti trump ad on you tube or other social platforms
2/4 Maybe you mean Alito and Thomas who bent over backwards to ensure Mr Orange got away with all his crime, and told the states they don't have standing to keep him off the ballots? Maybe you mean major news outlets, who threw him easy questions with no pushback for the sake of access an
1/4 You mean Merrick Garland who purposely waited two years before doing anything ? Maybe you mean Mitch McConnell who shoved another "conservative" on us, and admitted 45 committed insurrection but didn't convict him for it in the impeachment?
Hard disagree. The problem is the republican party for not holding their own accountable and the people that support them. Trump winning the election is basically confirming what he has done. It takes the people to uphold democratic principles. We have a people problem.
Nope. The premise of the article is that Garland waited 2 years - this is totally false. He started investigating trump the week he got to DoJ. That same year, when the FBI refused to execute his search warrants, he had the post office cops do it. Take a look at SCOTUS if you want the real culprit.
Trump should have been convicted in the second impeachment, or the first. Mitch and the spineless GOP in D.C. are also to blame. Think of all the taxpayer money that has gone into these trials. Money that would have been better spent on his imprisonment expenses.
Nailed it, everyone’s pointing fingers, but the reality is Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP didn’t do what they all new should be done (they were there 1/6 fearing for their lives) & didn’t have the balls to impeach him.
4 years later, the most criminal, dangerous man will be going for round two
Afghanistan wasn’t even where Bin Laden was hiding, it was Pakistan & took until 2011 to finally finish him. The world is watching this 💩-hole country. Sad times.
Been watching him do it to the United States justice system his entire life. If he were black, Hispanic etc. he'd be doing life without parole if not on death row.
What do those 6 SCOTUS “justices” say to themselves when they look in the mirror brushing their teeth or combing their receding hairlines: “Job well done?’ or ‘American history will paint me as savior’.
First we thought that Robert Mueller would save us from Donald Trump. Then we thought Jack Smith would. But they were 2 honorable men who became patsies inside a broken and corrupt system. And now we have a corrupt and broken country.
At this point if the Dems had any credible evidence that would stand up in court they would have provided it, and if it was valid Trump would be in prison.
Just admit that your perspective and outrage is driven by low iq propaganda.
Say what you want about Trump (and I despise him) but what maga does well is message. They hammer the message. No matter how absurd, no matter how debunked, they say over and over that X is why Y is Z. And when challenged with reality, they move to the next X. We're dumb enough that it works.
Merrick Garland totally owns where we are today. A Grand Jury should have been convened within weeks, after Biden's inauguration. No excuse for the utter lack of urgency, that our AG Merrick Garland displayed in getting Federal indictments for Donald Trump. Trump would be in prison now.
If Republicans had held him accountable instead of protecting him at every turn, he’d be gone. They had two opportunities to vote to impeach and remove. He is their monster and their responsibility.
Merrick garland . He should have appointed Jack smith the day he stepped in as AG… The orange turd would be in jail and we would not be overtly run by the right wing kooks now 😡😡😡
‘…neither opinion explained what should happen when a “private citizen” is indicted, and then elected president. The filing reveals that Smith posed this question to the OLC after Election Day, and the office responded that the case must “be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.”
Ao they failed to do what they they could have and then they failed a 3rd time after Jan 6. The republicans have a whole more to answer for regarding Trump than Garland - they just do. They’ve been snivelling spineless cowards
The January 6 committee didn’t release all his finding until 2022. The Trump team has delayed and delayed and delayed, this is what they intended. There were over 1000 witnesses at the January 6 hearings Smith had to interview them all.
Nothing in the Constitution says that we must be at war with a country before someone can possibly commit Treason by giving aid and comfort to that country. But we have the Supreme Court to thank for that stupid decision -- a decision that ignores the realities of nuclear-nation proxy wars.
Yes, because they’re MAGAs, compelled to act only to serve their selfish ideology. If they can’t see it, and it’s not affecting them, then it must not exist. They’re the all-time champs at playing…checkers.
I remember watching Jim Clyburn on MSNBC say that they didn't want to focus on Trump or J6th because they didn't want it to taint Biden's 1st 100 days.
100 days became a year, etc...
Then Trump kept being able to delay court dates, even though this is something he's known for doing.
I’m blaming him and the entire party for it. They knew he wasn’t going to play fair yet they stood by and did nothing. Merrick Garland was the worst pick ever! They didn’t do what needed to be done.
@sethabramson.bsky.social what is the statute of limitations on this? What about his NY conviction when he leaves office?
I bet it affects his decision making regarding the country. If he feels slighted, why should he care about us? Maybe he just wants to watch it all burn.
Careful before blaming all of this on Merrick Garland.
He is a cautious judge, not a headkicking prosecutor like Fani Willis or Glenn Kirschner.
He was correct not to go flat out against Trump.
THAT would've been a #politicalwitchhunt.
He should've collapsed Trump's pillars all around him.
#tactics
Garland did not hesitate. He built the case deliberately and with knowledge you needed airtight, convictable EVIDENCE. It's ENTIRELY on the courts and thus the GOP Senate and thus Mitch. Once the RW justices were in place, we were doomed. WTF made the LEFT go all KPD on us? DAMN.
German Socialists of the 1930s. I no longer remember EXACTLY what KPD stands for in either German or English. They ignored Hitler. Their motto was "After Hitler, us." We can see how well THAT worked out. 🙄They were the first rounded up. American socialists still believe that: after Trump, us. 🤦
Tell Bernie and his minions with whom I DO still occasionally work. They think they're hot stuff, heirs to the Revolution. They are just chaos agents. Nothing more. But they build on that ideology that cost 12 million lives in the 1930s-40s including their own! They keep insisting it works. NO.
Exactly, and yet the turkeys of the DSA, former friends and allies, adopted the SAME mantra as the KPD. Do NOT tell me I don't know. I used to be part of that. It's sheer idiocy that they refuse to reconsider. "Let it fall! WE will fix it!" Yeah. Right.
Because so many people are not interested in politics and believe what is easily presented to their ears. Also, many uneducated people out there. That makes a big difference and why our education system is under attack.
Romantic ideals of revolution, historical blindness, you name it. I was part of it until I learned, to my horror, how racist and ignorant they were. I traveled w top DSA leadership and could not tolerate it any longer. Broke with them in the 1970s. It's gotten only worse since then.
No. No. No. No. It's not ultimately Cannon's fault for the docs case. It's the DOJ for letting the case be tried in Florida. The crime happened in DC. Merrick Garland is a fool. This crappy article passes the buck and NEVER mentions JOE BIDEN.
Circular logic. Why can't Biden use the same power to arrest Trump and his criminal conspirators as traitors? The argument that Trump can do anything he wants but only SCOTUS can decide if Biden can arrest him for 100 crimes he commits daily -- circular logic. What cowards Democrats are.
Roberts lied his way to the SC.
Roberts is a cold heartless criminal terrorist thug.
He sold his soul 4$$$!

The plan described in the link below is the ONLY CONSTITUTIONAL PLAN that can keep Trump out of the White House, prevent his becoming "president for life," and preserve our Democracy.
No mention of Joe Biden who appointed Garland and the head of OLC. If he didn't think he could get more progressive picks through the Senate, just recess the Seante. Course we know Biden is also an institutionalist and never even considered it.
The main purpose of him entering the election cycle was to avoid jail. This gave Project 2025 the perfect vessel to enact their plan. He didn't care. He just wanted power and to avoid prison. Normalizing him created this problem.
The wheels of justice move too slow for people like Trump.
Add to this how people like Trump are also able to afford to delay, delay, delay, and a DEM party that continues to pretend they're dealing with a normal person and not some sociopath who's never been told no (& had it stick) before.
It shouldn't take decades to take down people who are well known.
Meanwhile some average Joe passes a counterfeit bill that he wasn't aware was counterfeit and the officer who shows up on the scene is his judge, jury, and executioner.
It is absolutely surreal, and horrifying. We are truly on our own. The opportunity to save democracy was there, and Garland bungled it, leaving this country at the hands of an orange fuhrer.
Just wow. But look, how do we fix the future for rule of law? The corrupt SCOTUS (McConnell’s work) is ultimately to blame here with this nail because, aside from immunity, didn’t Thomas send a legal love note to Cannon giving her permission to dismiss the documents case? There is the target.
Cannon will be joining them now. Thomas & Alito are no longer in fear of either resigning or impeachment. Their silent 10th insurrectionist SCOTUS member, Ginny in the clear, too.
Wrong. The evidence is irrefutable, the case strongest ever (read the motion). He’d have presented it, and hopefully still will. Hey, maybe the facts will lead to an impeachment if he even gets into office.
And wait until the last day possible to reveal "The Founders actually wanted us to have a King" portion of the Constitution never before seen by legal scholars But hey if God couldn't get the job done, then you had to take it upon yourself regardless of the corruption, lies and shamelessness it took
Punt the Felon in Chief's case to a lower court, when asked directly for a quick judgement considering the gravity of the situation
Take up the case after the lower court "got it wrong" in their exceedingly well thought out legal judgement

Gut the voting rights act (now Southern states are even defying you to stop black people from voting, nice work)
Dismiss the CO Constitution not allowing insurrectionists on their ballot 2/
Congratulations Roberts, you're one step closer to your goal of a White Christian Nationalists Country
All it took was to lie under oath about Roe being precedent
Give "Citizens" United the win

Nope.

You've been hoodwinked..😂🤣
Special Counsel Jack Smith's efforts show how tough it is to hold powerful people accountable in such a complex legal and political landscape.
Happy Thanksgiving to Jack Smith and his family
