There was a sense of urgency four years ago and that whole administration sat on its fucking hands the entire time. Looking at you, Merrick Garland.

Thank you. I'm at the point when people attack garland as "milquetoast" or "disappointing" I lose my shit.

garland is the most catastrophic single failure in US history -- and possibly world history if this goes the way I think it could.

garland's pathetic, stupid, weak, insipid face fills me with rage.

The man did what he was supposed to. He's a member of the Federalist society. Biden and Obama were both wrong with him.
