There are times when a referee is needed.

In sports, when there are disputed calls, the referee must make a decision.

In politics, when elections are disputed, the referee must make the call.

In life, when two recipients need a heart in order to survive, but there is only one heart, the referee must make the decision.

We find ourselves in need of a referee today.

People are wringing their hands and doubting the process of justice. From the evidence we have seen thus far, it appears that several laws have been flagrantly abused and broken. People question their own judgement and reality. Was there really a coup on January 6th? Was it an acceptable way to show political disapproval? Did people conspire to overthrow the election and our elected government? We will need a referee to make the decision.

Who is that referee? It is our Department of Justice.

When there are questions so large that folks cannot distinguish between right and wrong? When they cannot tell the difference between legal and criminal? When they try to impose their will on the majority? It is time for the referee to step in.

The Dept of Justice is the only referee we have at this time. They must make the decision. If it is not acceptable, then the aggrieved Party can appeal. All the way to the Supreme Court if they wish.

But the fact remains. The referee must make a decision.

Mr. Garland doesn't seem like a "take no prisoners," "burn the house down, if necessary" kind of guy.

Just my opinion.

To not make a decision is not acceptable.
