22. first of all, you're wrong about the strength of his words

...second of all, if all you're doing today is tweak Garland for not 'twerking' in front of Congress, instead of further the correct and forceful defenses of democracy and the law he made in the hearing, I don't really know why you expect anyone to take your view seriously.

This is just Garland bashing for Garland bashing sake, predictably coming with ZERO actual facts, much less what he actually said.

But you can't print what he said and call it weak, can you? Is that what you're about here? Do you support what he said, or are you just going to spend your time with this nonsense and pretend you're somehow superior in this than the man actually putting action behind his words?

What a self-defeating and really subversive effort this is, to just focus on this petty concern and act as if that falsehood to the omission of what Garland actually said represents some strength or some defense of justice or whatever you're defending here. What utter delusion.
