2. +++

9. For sure

[Ilsa]

3. Or an AG taking political orders from the president, as trump did?

Or an AG acting like he's the president's personal attorney?

5. Just unreal

[PatSeg]

4. They are shameless

They do the same thing over and over again, and act like it is a brand new concept that just dawned on them.

6. Garland should have quotes from each of the ...

... republican senators from Barr’s various hearings where they praised him nauseatingly. Pitch them back at them, and then say “I will conduct myself with exactly the same integrity, impartiality and professionalism as AG Barr. You're ok with that, senator, aren’t you?”

He could add a “Just kidding” if he wants to.

7. They keep trying to back him into a corner.

They want to justify Trump by cornering Garland into continuing Barr's investigations as if that will make Barr look less an embarrassment/

11. He is so much smarter than they are, and he is very well prepared.

Making this wait has given him additional time to prepare for the crazy GOP. Not a good thing with that great legal mind who was treated so poorly by their leader.

8. A more accurate statement, but one they cannot say out loud.

Republicans are concerned with an AG bringing politics THEY DON'T LIKE into the job. They have no problem with any official promoting conservative policies.

Similar to the above statement, for future reference:

Republicans are not concerned with the size of government. They are only concerned with the function of government. They will grow government to whatever size they feel is necessary to enforce conservative ideas.

Republicans are for family values, as long as the family is White, heterosexual, Protestant Christian, and conservative. They do not care about adultery, abortion, or any of the other values they screech about, as long as you keep it quiet and as long as it is being done by a rich White man.

10. They only care about "Democrat" politics infusing DoJ...

[pandr32]

12. There should be a zap to them every time they pull that

It would be so satisfying to watch. Maybe wire their seats?

13. How could he be more political that Burr? Just askin'.
