We hear nothing from Garland because, well, it's all secret.

Just an observation. I really don't think either of those things make a difference to the average voter. I don't have any answers.

as much as possible.

Plus, they should have passed Bipartisan Bill as soon as done, rather than linking it to BBB and fiddling around with it.
