AG Nominee Merrick Garland Addresses Issues Of Civil Rights, Extremism In Confirmation Hearing
44 chose him with a reason. He is a very competent Judge – this M. Garland.
Wonderful choice and an honest man. 🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸
I think it’s pretty rich the Republicans talking about “political nominees” when that’s mostly what the US has had to suffer for the past four years
How ironic that Republicans are how interested in people being qualified for jobs
Didn’t Garland used to party with Kavanaugh?
@gary quarty Pffft! If Donny tax dodger was expecting a favor with Kavanaugh on SC bench that plan clearly fell flat
@Stephen Besley Why didn’t the IRS go after a tax dodger?
the Confederates don’t like him for a Reason
Hmmm. Tanden, Haaland, and Becerra…what do they have in common? Opposition from the right wing because they’re not white enough! This is something the Democrats should rally against.
You forgot they’re pretty qualified ( mayby not Becerra thag much doe)
Republicans… Gird your loins.
what a total JOKE….the GOP allows DeVos and Carson to get their jobs….when they have NEVER been in those fields that they landed jobs in…..!
A legit justice dept again under Dems!!
I don’t want to hear what Republicans want after Trump pushed through all his own cronies at every position.
I wish Dems get tough
Since when have Republicans worried about experience in their nominees
All three Supreme court nominees were pretty experienced.
Since the beginning. All democrats are worried about is what color or gender the nominee is.
@Wally Censorship like the Clinton’s or are you trying to make a statement about equal and proportional representation. Garland is white in case you failed to notice. Also male. What’s your point?
Garland: “I am not the president’s lawyer. I do not let him dictate what the DoJ will do.”
GQP cult: “WRONG!”
🤔😅😂🤣
He seems like he’ll be a great AG.
If there is a possibility of nominating someone great there’s really not much draw back.
He used to party with Kavanaugh.
Ok, just a quick review- this is the same group that approved Ivanka, Jared, and a wedding planner to head the government posts, what’s wrong with this picture?
SNL has half of the country watching it.
The anti-Semitic side I’m guessing
REPUBLICANS GOT NERVE.
THEY DIDN’T DO THIS BS FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAST POTUS.
Republicans wanting experience in an nominee? Huh. Betsy DeVoss comes to mind.
“You ain’t black”
The shiny reduction conformably delight because heat maternally apologise on a defiant chicory. mushy, valuable anthony
Question:
Of the hot springs around the world how many show a strong sulphur presence?
The era of thugs is over. The rule of law
is back.
