Merrick Garland never got to be a Supreme Court Justice because as the clown who nominated him once said, “Elections have consequences.” People blamed partisan politics for Garland’s failure to reach the bench, but as it turns out, he’s just horrible. During the confirmation hearings for Biden’s AG nominee, Garland said he would dedicate his office to fighting white supremacy while also giving a big thumbs up to black supremacy.
Merrick Garland was nominated by Obama to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, but it was done in a lame duck year and Republicans controlled the Senate, so they waited until Trump was elected to keep the seat conservative. Democrats have never stopped freaking out over this and Joe Biden decided to give Garland a pity nomination as Attorney General.
As The New Republic reports, Garland has very little interest in anything legitimately crime-related:
If Merrick Garland is confirmed by the Senate and becomes the next attorney general, his first priority, according to the testimony he offered on Monday, would be supervising “the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on January 6.” In both his prepared remarks and his answers to senators’ questions, Garland framed the siege as an attack on American democracy itself, and the job of the Department of Justice as “battling extremist attacks on our democratic institutions.”
The Hill added that fighting white supremacy would be Garland’s “first priority” as AG.
“I intend to give the career prosecutors who are working on this manner 24/7 all of the resources they could possibly require to do this. And at the same time, I intend to make sure that we look more broadly to look at where this is coming from, what other groups there might be that could raise the same problem in the future,” said Garland.
Since democrats, including Joe Biden, have labeled Trump supporters and conservatives in general as “white supremacists” and “extremists” it looks like Garland’s plan is to bring the Great Conservative Purge to the Attorney General’s office.
And while Garland has a rage boner for white supremacy, real or imagined, he has a soft spot for black supremacy. Fox News reports:
Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland defended Kristen Clarke, the attorney tapped to lead the Justice Department’s civil rights division, during a heated exchange with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, at his confirmation hearing on Monday.
Clarke, Biden’s nominee to serve as assistant attorney general for civil rights, drew scrutiny in recent weeks over a resurfaced 1994 letter she co-authored to the Harvard Crimson. Clarke presented the letter as a denouncement of findings in the controversial book called “The Bell Curve,” which suggested that intelligence was linked to genetics and environmental factors.
In the letter, Clarke wrote, among other things that “Black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than whites” and “Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities.”
“Would an individual’s past statements as an adult declaring that one racial group is superior to another, would statements like that be relevant to an evaluation of whether such a person should be put in charge of running the Department of Justice’s civil rights division?” Mike Lee asked Garland.
“I’ve read, in the last few days, these allegations about Kristen Clarke, who I’ve also gotten to know, who I also trust, who I believe is a person of integrity, whose views about the civil rights division I have discussed with her and they are in line with my own,” replied Garland.
So he agrees with Clarke that black people are superior to white people? Why is he trying to be her boss? Shouldn’t he bow before her superiority and allow her to be the AG?
Biden has nominated a series of unqualified duds for his cabinet, but this guy isn’t just incompetent, he’s dangerous. He’s literally telling Republicans that he would use the office to come after them under the guise of fighting white supremacist extremism. That fact that he’s a big supporter of black supremacy is just the diarrhea icing on the shit cake that is Merrick Garland.
