My confidence that Merrick Garland will do the right thing is virtually zero

181. That's just it!

You don't know. I don't know. None of us knows. Unless someone here is clairvoyant or has an inside source at the DOJ, we are all equally in the dark.

And yet some people keep insisting that they know exactly what Garland's thinking, what he's planning, what he's done (or not done) so far, and what he's going to do (or not do). And they accuse anyone who isn't equally convinced that we know Garland's plans of making excuses for him, being Pollyannas, being in the Merrick Garland Fan Club. I am getting SO tired of it.

The fact is, we all have opinions and theories and feels (lordy, do we have feels). We are entitled to have them, and we're entitled to express them. The naysayers are entitled to be pessimistic, and I am entitled to express that I haven't completely given up hope without being insulted for it.

I know people are frustrated. I GET that! That doesn't give anyone the right to take their frustrations out on each other.
