for "not doing his job properly" by people with no comparable knowledge, experience or competence. That government employee is Dr. Fauci, and we would all agree that the criticism of him is unjustified and downright deplorable. How is the situation different where another government employee with decades of experience in his field is being dragged for "not doing his job properly" by people with no comparable knowledge, experience or competence, when that government employee is Merrick Garland?
