It's the Roman Republic all over again. A generation after Julius Caesar did the same, Rome was governed by an emperor.
Even if we do get a Brutus we’re still fucked, got it
The couches certainly will.
That's the only reason he ran again
Hmm maybe not the only reason, bit I'd say one of the biggest
It worked for Julius Caesar. Mostly.
Et tu, brute?
Why the fuck should the result of the election matter in a criminal trial?
The fact that it does shows how broken the system is.
I'd get back to the judge today, saying we're ready to procede as planned. His employment status is unrelated to the case.
If only it were that simple.
Technically, legally, it is that simple.
All it takes is some courage.
This was the true election interference all along. What a goddamned joke. When they say the wheels of justice turn slowly, they never said the wheels were taken off and the rusted out frame of the Camaro IROC was sitting on cinder blocks. Fuck all of this shit.
No hope here, but Biden needs to get rid of Garland and put in an AG that might take one last go with some teeth. Won't happen because they are diluting themselves to believe a status quo will still prevail. The experiment failed.
Garland will go down in history as an unimaginable coward. Enjoy your legacy, you luke warm piece of shit. I hope future generations have enough appreciation for history to piss on your fucking grave.
He was supposed to be on SCOTUS, too, nominated by Obama. I truly wonder what the court decisions would've looked like if the Republicans didn't obstruct that nomination.
The thing that makes him a shit AG is actually what would have probably made him a decent SCOTUS justice. He's measured and frightened to show any emotion in his work. He's also SLOW AS FUCK. These would make him a decent moderate justice for something rising to the level of SCOTUS.
Instead we'll get that fuckwad Cannon as soon as Thomas dies.
Not death... him and at least or one other justice will now willingly "early" retire to sacrifice their seat to a very young and very fucking stupid trump cultist who will sit in that lifetime appointment for the next 40-50 years.
This isn't just you and I, if there's still a country at that point, your great, great grandkids will feel the repercussions of this moment.
no justice no union
Woop, there it iiis.
