Good News!
Merrick Garland Finally Makes It To The Senate.
Bad News!
Republicans Are There.
Chuck Grassley opened the hearing Monday with what former Senator Al Franken noted (https://twitter.com/alfranken/status/1363878195511123968?s=20) was a flat-out lie.
Grassley claimed he only did Garland dirty in 2016 because he was nominated to the Supreme Court too darn close to a presidential election.
Graham's weird Comey question is Fox News's big takeaway from the Garland hearing so far
John Cornyn is the second Republican senator to ask Merrick Garland loaded questions about James Comey. Look for this on Hannity tonight.
Texas Senator John Cornyn grilled Garland about the Steele Dossier (dun-dun-dun) (https://www.wonkette.com/for-the-umpteeth-time-the-steele-dossier-is-not-the-same-as-the-trump-tower-russian-treason-meeting-you-f-cking-idiots)because that is a pressing and vital issue right now.
He also brought up James Comey (!) and his 2016 press conference about Hillary Clinton's unconventional email storage ... zzzz .... zzzz ....
Ted Cruz, was tanned and rested and ready to bore us. He dusted off the “Fast and Furious" scandal.
The presiding Senate idiot John Kennedy from Louisiana subjected Garland to astream-of-conscious transphobic tirade (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/22/live-politics-updates-merrick-garland-hearings-joe-biden-neera-tanden/4538108001/)that is not worth repeating.
Tom Cotton thought he had a “gotcha" on Garland when he asked him if he opposed discrimination. Garland responded, “Duh, yeah, I'm not a common slavery apologist from Arkansas (https://www.wonkette.com/tom-cotton-slave-owning-founders-believed-slavery-was-necessary-evil-so-checkmate-1619-project) like some people." He didn't say that last part.
COTTON: Are you aware President Biden has signed an executive order stating his administration will affirmatively advance racial equity, not racial equality but racial equity?
Oh noes! Not racial equity with all those conservative bogeyman quotas that deprive entitled white men of opportunities in favor of shiftless minorities!
Garland explained to Senator Penis Head that
Biden's executive order defines racial equity as
the “fair and impartial treatment of every person without regard to their status and including individuals
who have been in underserved communities where they were not accorded that before."
Because racism is a thing, you moron.
Garland reassured Republicans that he and President Biden aren't going to defund the police.
He also explained to the dummies
why storming the US Capitol in an effort to block certification of a democratic election
is a more serious crime than random thugs vandalizing a federal building in Portland, Oregon.
He also anticipated a new moratorium on federal executions, because this is supposed to be a civilized country.
