1. I have to agree with him.

[orangecrush]

3. +1

[burrowowl]

15. Me too!

[hamsterjill]

25. I agree as well.

It's time - more than time - for something to have been done. The clock is ticking and it's the other sides' tactic to stall. Inaction only emboldens the stallers. With the resources of the Department of Justice, one would think SOMETHING might have happened by now.

2. Federal judge Beryl Howell *ain't* too thrilled with the DOJ, either.

I think Garland was a good choice for SCOTUS but not DOJ.

4. Ruben Gallego

Says it out loud.

5. Seems it *ain't* just non-salon-going DUers. (n/t)

10. Is there a way the general public can make their opinions known to the AG?

With other politician we can easily call or email but it seems as if there is no way to talk to the AG. Perhaps he doesn't know how seriously frustrated the general public is if he doesn't have access to these mechanisms?

21. Good question

11. Really

Right now the most descriptive word I can think of to describe Garland is milquetoast. Afraid to sentence the Capital insurgents too harshly because it might Harden them further....give me a break. I think Biden is giving him some cushion because Garland got robbed from being a Supreme by Mitch McChinless.


It’s time to grow some spine Mr. Garland and if not soon replace him Joe with someone like Glenn Kirchnerl

26. From Day One, I felt he didn't have it in him...

Although on the one hand it was a relief to hear the U.S.Atty General deliver remarks with a soft spoken tone and in a soft spoken manner... and the content of his remarks resonated with me to my core, at the same time I felt a warning that he doesn't possess the skill set required for this particular job. It doesn't seem to be in his "genes".

Worst than that, he has demonstrated to my eye and ear, a sort of fearfulness and seems to be easily intimidated by these treasonous bastards on the R side of the podium occupying the Senate and Congressional seats on the hill.

He seems to be in fear of his life. or perhaps his family.

I'm not saying he IS in fact in fear of his life, I'm saying I feel it projecting from him while observing him answering questions.

13. Ty 👍 Replace him Joe with Glen Kirchner (acting)

If I could recommend this post a million times I would

[Pepsidog]

14. Adam Schiff is my choice.

[triron]

22. good choice.

[calimary]

17. YES!

[calimary]

16. Gallego certainly speaks for me.

Why aren't more people behind bars? Going all the way up the proverbial food chain, too!

[Justice matters.]

18. Acting AG Glenn Kirschner would get the job that needs to be done.

In accordance to the Law.

Fight Fire With Fire, not a establishment Republican.

19. Bookmarking for later.

23. Not sure how i feel. seems like you got to trust the AG. BUT

Is it possible we still have some of TFG's people in the DOJ? ( NOT GARLAND to be clear)I just don't know what's going on, BUT I'm worried is all i can say.

[Hotler]

24. See, it's not just some of us DUer's that are wonder why the DOJ is MIA. nt

[Texaswitchy]

27. Garland needs to go .

Someone younger and tougher.
