Us some logic. Pam Bondi is going be confirmed next week. This isn't going to drag out longer than the transition period so Comey as an example doesn't fit the scenario.

Keep being obtuse all you want just so you can avoid saying you two were talking about different scenarios.

WTF does Bondi have to do with ANYTHING pertaining to whether or not the statement that incoming Presidents NEVER fire political appointees"?


You're moving goalposts changing stadiums putting time limits on when geez what's next?

You want to go down the list of US Attorneys next. This happens every time administrations change.

He will never be a supreme court justice.

He'll be a sour, bitter ***** for the rest of his days.

Good riddance.

The only ****ty part about this is Trump doesn't get to fire his donkey ass.

JUST IN: Merrick Garland is resigning as Attorney General of the United States.

He is leaving behind the most unjust and corrupt Justice Department in U.S. historypic.twitter.com/b01udzA8E6

He's talking about the first day in office of the next POTUS, not 4 months later.

"N E V E R" means never. I use the literal definition as it's meaning

Keep trying to tell me what other people are thinking or meaning all you want.

congrats you got me. You win the internet today. again i was talking about the incoming POTUS "firing" all the cabinet level appointments. The usual process is they step down as the new admiration is coming in.

And think how close he came to becoming an SC justice.

Thank you Mitch.

What is the theory as to why one would resign 3-4 days before the transition officially occurs?

Gives them more time to shred files for an employee that is no longer there and to delete all of their emails.

Turtle did outmaneuver Schumer a few times as he knew the Senate rules like the back of his hand. So as a political tactician, he was great...when he wanted to be tactical that is.

He has lost quite a few steps since 2016 however. Should have retired before his last reelection campaign, IMO.

I also hope "These poor woke idiots are all going to be unemployed soon", but doubtful.

Dear Ken Dilianian
You seem delusional. Merrick Garland treated his fellow sycophants in the DOJ with kindness and respect.

He treated the citizens he worked for and was supposed to protect like ***** He had/has/will continue to have no morals, ethics, honesty nor honor.

That's about right. Most politicians stay beyond their "useful life," lol.

Everyone in that pic needs to be identified and fired next week.

Garland's final act? Suspending death penalty executions. Of course, he waited until the day of his resignation.

The real goal? To help defense litigants argue they should not be sentenced to death, and down the road for the repeal of life sentences without the possibility of parole.

And now, as they saunter out the door with no further concerns about political accountability, Garland and Biden tell us it was all inhumane after all . . . except they can't say it is unconstitutional or flouts American tradition (which for centuries abided less humane methods of capital punishment).
The driver of all this legerdemain is partisan politics: Garland is trying to make it difficult for the incoming Trump administration to prosecute death penalty cases and even to execute the three inmates who Biden told us, just a few days ago, deserved capital punishment.
As Garland well knows, in future cases including that of Mangione, in which he approved capital charges defense lawyers and progressive judges will use his invalidation of the execution protocol as a basis to claim that the death penalty is sadistic, illegal, and potentially unconstitutional. And mind you, in this exercise of slavish adherence to Soros-approved progressive nonenforcement pieties, the beneficiaries will as always be hardened criminals.
To be sure, federal capital sentences are rare under current jurisprudence, the death penalty is only imposed for murder, and the vast majority of murder prosecutions are done in the state court systems. Thirteen federal offenders were executed in Trump's first term (hence the Supreme Court's afore-described Lee case, involving murderers of children); prior to that, there had been no executions in 17 years not since the first Bush 43 term, after which Obama's AG, like Biden's, imposed a moratorium rationalized by baseless concerns about constitutionality (while nevertheless charging Tsarnaev with capital murder).
So why expend all these resources on internal DOJ and academic studies, litigation, and debate? At stake, after all, is only a minuscule fraction of the approximately 20,000 murders annually committed in the United States. Why not just content ourselves with sentences of life imprisonment without parole for the worst offenders, chalk up the steep expense of incarcerating murderers for decades as a cost of doing humaneness, and end the waste of time and effort?
Because if you don't have a death penalty, you won't have sentences of life imprisonment without parole.
Understand, progressives are nearly as offended by imprisonment at least lengthy incarceration as they are by death sentences. If the death penalty were ever repealed, progressives would immediately mount a campaign against sentences of life imprisonment, arguing that these, too, are inhumane. Gradually, congressional Democrats would push to reduce the maximum federal sentence to some term of years say, 25 or 30 for starters, to be whittled down from there. Or, la Europe, the federal system would maintain a nominal "life imprisonment" sentence, but defendants would become eligible for parole after a dozen or so years.

Democrats happily tell you who they really are, especially on their way out the door with no political accountability. Never, ever vote for one.

Kindness and respect? Like denying people their constitutional rights? Like raiding and prosecuting political enemies? Like imprisoning grandmas because you don't like their politics?

Garland is a fascist. He would have gotten along swimmingly with some of the worst dictators in world history.

Merrick Garland is a corrupt, unethical piece of
***** May he be miserable the rest of his life.
