Anyone else pissed at Merrick Garland?

76. Right. Garland and Biden have their share of blame, but this really goes back

decades. We have had 2-3 generations of Democrats who were perfectly happy to just roll over for this stuff and never make waves.

Garland was obviously not the right person for that job. But even the best person would have had trouble standing up to the fascists at that stage, given no reasonable expectation of many prominent Dems having their back at the moments of truth.

What we have today is the product of 50 years of neglect of our democracy. I am calling out Dems here, but that is only because I long ago gave up any hope that any Republicans would do the right thing for our Constitutional government. Anybody who did not see this coming as of Bush V Gore and the Brooks Brothers riot, and then the astroturf Tea Party stuff, the disintegration of our legitimate news media, the "birther" years and so on, was either not alive or not paying the slightest bit of attention.

Given that picture, I'm not sure we could have expected much more from people like Mueller, Comey, Smith, and Garland.
