(16,636 posts)I also agree with your previous post, about where the blame lies.
I wish Garland had moved a LOT faster than he did, but SCOTUS has a hell of a lot to answer for right now.
I was watching Nicolle Wallace when the news broke and have been tuned into MSNBC ever since, and I have never seen so many really smart people with their hair on fire as I have seen these past few hours. Garland has gotten some negative comments, but it's SCOTUS that everyone has seemed to have the harshest words for, and I agree. Those 6 conservatives are being WAY too helpful to Trump, and it stinks.
As for Garland, I don't agree with a lot of his choices, but I'm in no position to judge his motives or what those decisions have been based on. I hope he writes a memoir someday, because I'd love to hear what he has to say about all of it, but I'm not holding my breath.
