I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Merrick Garland
It’s confirmed: The judge needs his own ice cream flavor. Help us name it
As of this morning, it has been 167 days since President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill Antonin Scalia’s vacant Supreme Court seat #SCOTUS #nightmare #politics
@Jezibaba Vanilla Slug?
@AskTheDevil that's got a good ick factor.
@Jezibaba I don't feel like I hate Mr. Garland or anything. It just feels like he's been too cautious to do the necessary on a number of occasions, and has let problems drag on.
At the same time, the position he is in is the sort that would try anyone's soul. Many powerful forces set against his mission and duty, which many beings have trouble understanding without sparks and ashes thrown in their faces by enemy and leader alike.
@AskTheDevil He's cautious. I was saying that a year ago. I'm pretty sure were it not for the Jan 6 hearings I doubt we'd be this far.
