    If the US recovers from this dystopian nightmare, there are going to be a lot of collaborators to give their day in court. Garland would be high up on my list.

            It’s what Obama did to the Bush administration. None of the excesses got rolled back and now Trump is using that infrastructure to pick up enemies from the street and lock them up without trial.

              They flip flop in power, so there’s no reason to dismantle any new power one of them gets when it means your guy can use it next too

        Because he was only nominated by Obama to show gop didn’t actually care who the candidate was they were going to block anyone he put forward. So in infinite wisdom put forward one on the GOP short list.

        Then in Bidens infinite wisdom thought it would do something to then make the heritage society candidate his AG

    That said, under Garland’s watch antitrust efforts moved slower than many hoped and he didn’t reverse the Trump DOJ’s effort to derail the E. Jean Carroll case. Garland’s DOJ also went to the Supreme Court and asked to functionally eliminate Miranda rights. So… not great.
