Merrick Garland thoroughly disgusts me and should disgust you as well
[Hot Air] Merrick Garland is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee.

His performance is a tour de force. It is difficult to imagine that anybody has consistently lied to Congress more and gotten away with it. Alejandro Mayorkas is in the running considering the sheer quantity of lies, but Garland beats Mayorkas by a mile when it comes to verbal dancing. Mayorkas is a plodding liar, while Garland is a master sophist, which is why Obama wanted him on the Supreme Court.

It’s hard to say which of the two presents a greater danger to America. Mayorkas threatens our economy and our physical security as a nation; Garland wields a dagger that plunges into the heart of our democratic values.

Both men should be impeached, removed, and jailed for perjury. None of those three things will happen, and you could argue that impeachment would be worthless because the process is now purely partisan. The hope that Congressmen and Senators would rise above party loyalty to defend the integrity of the country is so laughable that not a single person believes that any government official would be held accountable for anything other than stabbing his own party in the back.
Not even that, See: Romney, Mittens
Perhaps 10-15% of our elected representatives have any integrity left. A few do, and one suspects that their colleagues disdain them for their naivete. Once a critical mass in any institution gives up on defending it one becomes a fool for not joining in the plundering.
