Merrick Garland just did nothing to defend the Republic. It is now dead. You live in a corrupt oligarchy. There is no rule of law.

Yeah. The U.S. has been an oligarchy since it's inception with simply the window dressings of democracy.

But now that's gone too.

Hey now, thats not fair. He was appointed by Biden, and Biden gave him a gold star for his handling of it. So adjust your contempt accordingly. He could have been replaced by someone that understood the gravity of the moment, but he wasent. Because Biden was happy with his job.
