That said, under Garland’s watch antitrust efforts moved slower than many hoped and he didn’t reverse the Trump DOJ’s effort to derail the E. Jean Carroll case. Garland’s DOJ also went to the Supreme Court and asked to functionally eliminate Miranda rights. So… not great.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If the US recovers from this dystopian nightmare, there are going to be a lot of collaborators to give their day in court. Garland would be high up on my list.
If we survive i predict no consequences and well just carry on.
And i hate it.
"it's time to look forward, not back!"
I see you're a DNC leader!
It's what Obama did to the Bush administration. None of the excesses got rolled back and now Trump is using that infrastructure to pick up enemies from the street and lock them up without trial.
They flip flop in power, so there's no reason to dismantle any new power one of them gets when it means your guy can use it next too
This limp dick should just retire like the rest of these power clutching boomers
Oh so he will not do anything in the private sector as well! And get paid!
This guy is a fucking joke.
Thank God he never became a Supreme Court justice, I guess? Why does everyone fucking suck?
Because he was only nominated by Obama to show gop didn't actually care who the candidate was they were going to block anyone he put forward. So in infinite wisdom put forward one on the GOP short list.
Then in Bidens infinite wisdom thought it would do something to then make the heritage society candidate his AG
Probably still being a whiny dick about not getting his Justice seat as well.
God I hate American politics... Controlled opposition is the name of the game facepalm
I mean, the private sector doesn't prosecute... sooo...
