Merrick Garland wanted to avoid politics and protect the DOJ as an institution.

Thanks to his actions, or lack thereof, in one fell swoop, he has set the course to destroy the DOJ as an institution, make a mockery of what's left of the rule of law, and change politics as we have known it.

Ignominy.

@WarnerCrocker Blame Mitch McConnell and the GOP. It's not like they helped him.

@SueDiOh Oh, I do. ButcGarland had the opportunity to fix their fuckups.

@WarnerCrocker No, he didn't. What kind of case can you bring when all of your witnesses are hostile because they know the Rule of Law will not protect them from a criminal president?

@SueDiOh I don't know the specifics of what kind of case. I do know whatever it was, it should have started in February 2021 instead of November of 22.

@WarnerCrocker @SueDiOh

So building a half-assed case that would get tossed by the gop packed supreme Court on appeal leaving justice still not served, is preferable to building a better case and hope the people are smart enough to not elect the orange freak and make it harder for the scotus to toss the verdict.

He could not have known that so many tech oligarchs would get pissed at Biden for actually enforcing laws and decide to buy out the election.

@pgreer @WarnerCrocker I wish he would have moved faster, too, but you only get one shot, and it's easy to forget how many times the courts blocked him.

@SueDiOh @pgreer Well, we've all lost. And if folks who care are writing history sometime down the road, he'll get the much deserved blame.

@WarnerCrocker @pgreer Yes, and he deserves some of it, but not all. Biden could have replaced him.
