Merrick Garland, just as bad as Eric Holder

Good day all. When the Great Mistake, Barack Obama, took office in 2009, he brought along Eric Holder and made him the Attorney General of the United States. Holder saw it as his job to protect Obama from his enemies and to use the DoJ to go after anyone that didn’t “Toe the progressive line.”

 

The level of corruption in the DoJ was incredibly bad. I don’t mean people taking bribes to throw cases, but abusing their authority to punish anyone they didn’t like. It was also, arguably, the most racist DoJ in living memory.

When the Greatest President of the 21st Century. Donald Trump, took office, he appointed former senator from Alabama, Jeff “Sleepy” Sessions. His job was to clean up the DoJ and restore it’s credibility. Instead, Sessions napped for 2 years and allowed the Deep State to run rampant. He was fired in 2018 after the midterms and William Barr was brought in, with the same instructions. He did some work, but in the end, proved to be just another Deep State operative.

When the Communazis successfully rigged the 2020 election, and installed President Dementia, they also had him put Merrick Garland in as AG. Garland had been nominated by Der Fubar to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Mitch McConnell took one look at Garland’s record and basically said “Oh HELL NO!” and stalled the hearings. As we have seen, we dodged a number of bullets when President Trump won the election.

When he was going through the hearings for AG, Garland said he would not politicize the Department of Justice. Like all Progressives, he lied through his teeth. Here are the details from Fox News:

Attorney General Merrick Garland violated his pledge to avoid “politicizing” the Department of Justice (DOJ) by blasting states’ election laws in a statement honoring the one year anniversary of the death of civil rights giant Democratic Rep. John Lewis.

“Since 2013, there has been a dramatic rise across the country in legislative efforts that make it harder for millions of citizens to vote. This increase accelerated after the 2020 elections,” Garland said in a Saturday morning statement. (July 17th)  

“The recent further narrowing of voting protections only underscores the need for legislative action. The Department of Justice is using all the tools at its disposal to protect the voting rights of all citizens, but that is not enough. We need Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would provide the Department with important tools to protect the right to vote and to ensure that every vote is counted.”

Garland and the totalitarian vermin that have been brought into the Do(i)J since the installation of Dementia Joe, have been flat out threatening any state that looked at auditing the 2020 election, started hearings on legislation to protect the integrity of the ballot box, and in some cases, wanted to restore everything to the pre-panicdemic status. He’s also not to happy with the Supreme Court actually upholding the Constitution of the United States.

Garland blasted the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, which eliminated the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance provisions, which Garland states was “one of the nation’s most effective tools for safeguarding voting rights.”

The “Preclearance” that Garland and other progressive are so in love with was a section that basically took away the states ability to run their elections or handle redistricting every 10 years. According to the Rose Institute of State and local Government:

Voting Rights Act was enacted to make “the promise of the right to vote under the 15th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution a reality, ninety-five years after [its] passage”. Under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, sixteen states are required to submit any redistricting plans to the U.S. Department of Justice for preclearance. Preclearance is defined as the process of seeking U.S. Department of Justice approval for all changes related to voting. Section 5 of the Act requires that the United States Department of Justice or a three-judge panel of the United States District Court for District of Columbia “preclear” any attempt to change “any voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting…” in any “covered jurisdiction”.

In other words, the Act requires that areas with a history of voting discrimination and low turnout submit and receive approval for any voting change, including redistricting, before implementing the change. This process was designed to reduce discrimination, to increase voter turnout, and to ensure that each and every citizen has equal power to elect their preferred representatives. Accordingly, the Act banned for five years the use of discriminatory literacy tests and similar devices for determining eligibility to vote, or to register to vote, in those areas of the country (all in the South) identified by a special coverage formula contained in Section 4 of the act. Congress converted this into a nationwide, temporary ban in 1970, and enacted a permanent nationwide ban in 1975.

There is no question that the Democrat controlled southern states abused their rights under the constitution to keep blacks and other minorities from voting. The Federal Government does have the ability to make sure people who have the right to vote aren’t prevented from doing so, and a number of the old Democrat laws were designed to do just that.

However, the Act does seem to have gone a bit to far, and was using tools and methods that were in place 40 years earlier, and frankly, were no longer valid. One of the issues was that the Democrat Party had been pretty much crushed in the South, and the new crop of political leaders, (Many Republicans), actually followed the ideals of Dr. Martin Luthor King in being blind to a person’s skin color. (Something Democrats, Progressive, Liberals and Communazis never are)

During his Senate confirmation hearing, Garland made a promise to keep politics out of DOJ. stating in an exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, “I’m telling you what I think an attorney general ought to do — which is to look at the facts before making a decision. I’m also telling you that I will never make a decision in the department based on politics or partisanship.”

Obviously, he was lying. His assault on the new Georgia election law is a case in point.

However, the country’s top law enforcement officer has come under fire from critics, who argue that DOJ’s recent decision to sue Georgia over its controversial new voting law “politicized” the department. In June, Garland directed DOJ to sue Georgia, alleging Republican state lawmakers rushed through a sweeping overhaul with an intent to deny Black voters equal access to the ballot.

And that was flat out lie. The new Georgia laws were designed to prevent a reoccurance of the fiasco of the 2020 presidential election. One of the requirements was presenting a valid ID. The “Big Lie” that Progressive Liberal Racists use is that showing. an ID is racist, (Even though it applies to everyone), and that it’s to difficult for Black Americans to get an ID.

Georgia officials fired back, saying that the lawsuit is “blatantly political” and that Georgia’s law actually strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in elections.

Which, if you actually read the law, it does. The new law is actually less restrictive then some of the northern states like New York and Delaware. Then the Supreme Court weighed in on a case they had recently heard which basically trashed the hopes and dreams of the Political left.

Less than a week later, the Supreme Court issued a decision in the closely watched election integrity case, Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, upholding Arizona’s ability to enforce laws meant to keep the election process secure – including rules that outlawed ballot harvesting and allowing provisional ballots cast at the wrong precinct to be thrown out.

Basically, the State of Arizona was blocking all the methods that the Progressive Liberal Democratic Communazi Party uses to steal election. You cans see why they are so worked up over things like voter ID and making sure that a person has the right to vote, once, and in the correct locality.

Georgia’s attorney general Chris Carr, who will be defending the state’s election law in court against DOJ, blasted the Democrats on twitter for lying about the state’s election law and for barring the public from attending the event.

Senate Ds will bring in the national media – which will echo their lies about our election law – but silence the voices of REAL Georgians who overwhelmingly support election integrity. Follow MLB, and take this show to Colorado. We don’t want it. #gapol

The Communazis have been trying to ram through H.R. 1 and it’s counterpart, S. 1, which are designed to enshrine all the tools they use to rig elections in their favor. Since that attempt has pretty much failed, for now, they are relying on the corrupt Attorney General and the Do(i)J to force states to bend to the Deep State Progressive’s will. Garland is more then happy to do this and did whatever it took to get himself confirmed, including lying under oath.

I think there are grounds to impeach and remove him, but that would require actual, honest Democrats, and the last one, (Tulsi Gabbard), left the building in January. We’re in for a rough few years and I fully expect things to go sideways, and it will be due to the Communazis desire for absolute control of everything, and the refusal of people like Merrick Garland to live by the oath the swore when taking office.
