Is Garland All that bad? Well if you have to ask then the answer is probably Yes. Garland at best is a moderate/conservative Republican institutionalist. I said when he was appointed that he should not have been to pick but was total by many on the left to STFU and stop complaining. I was actually glad he didn't get selected to the SC because he was only selected with the recommendation of fright wing conservative and former Utah Sen Orrin Hatch and the GOP still wouldn't approve him. President Obama should have went liberal...no the liberal wouldn't have got approved either but President Obama should have known they had no intention of approving anyone. We need to stop worrying about Republicans. They campaign on and talk about appointing conservatives judges all the time. When was the last time you heard a Democrat campaign on or say they want to appoint/select LIBERAL judges?
Baloney, Merrick Garland is a wimp. #TraitorTrump had an attack dog Attorney General, and for the sake of CONTINUITY which the Dept. of Justice supposedly values above all things, including justice itself, then Pres. Biden needs his own attack dog as AG. There needs to be an aggressive clean sweep at DOJ and all areas of government infested by #TraitorTrump's allies. By being wimps, the Dems. will be outflanked and lose the 2022 elections and we will be plunged into autocracy again. We need aggressive Democrats pushing pushing pushing back against these fascist traitors at every level of government every single day. Anything less is inappropriate and ineffective.
Always great to hear Marcy's voice! Thank you so much for having her on, she really breaks stuff down so those of us tuning in occasionally to these outrages end up equipped to pass it all along to others even less focused on it. I always feel more knowledgable after hearing her; I hope you'll have her on more often, MS! Thanks.
The interview with Marcy was excellent and I think I agree that we need to let Garland and this DOJ do their thing. She always has a good take on these things. I do hope that he has people working behind the scenes to rid that organization of any tRump holdovers who will clearly wreak havoc on the carriage of justice that the American people deserve to see done.
I always enjoy Marcy Wheeler's nuanced interpretations on your show, but having Adam Schiff's and Eric Swalwell's names crop up in conjunction with AG Whitaker or whomever signed off on this is just too big a red flag to ignore no matter how it's explained. Trump's 4 years was one abuse of power cascading off another. It's not unreasonable to see how something legally solid on the surface could be twisted by any of his AGs into an attack on his enemies. The DOJ MUST begin investigations if they haven't already.
thanks so so much for posting this interview with Marcy. your visits with her are the clearest and most useful distillation of treason-legal stuff and it's hugely useful. also my Sirius feed pooped out while I was listening and I can't wait to listen again from beginning to end! thanks Mike. great work.
