Sen. Tom Cotton sparred with Attorney General Merrick Garland and called for his resignation during an intense exchange at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

The back-and-forth concerned a memo that Garland issued on October 4...

.

Lindsey Graham and McConnell voted to Confirm him, and Old Lindsey was on TV tonight saying his terrible M. Garland is as AG.

They count on people being uninformed.

I shudder to think a Supreme Court justice could support the anal rape of students in VA, and this Judge Frieseler, wants to arrest parents of victims.

You mean like of our tough talk about rising up these past 20 years? :)

Aching for a civil war and then scouring like rats when a COUP takes our presidency away from us?

Yes, I agree.

empty rhetoric.

After Sen.Cotton was finished with Garland I was blushing with embarrassment for the A.G.
That was one deserved ass-chewing of an a-hole.
Chewed around it until it dropped out.

“Erupts?”

I saw the exchange; it was all but under his breath.
Clear. Plenty audible. HARDLY an “eruption.”

Conservatives and other assorted right-leaning voices would have a HELLUVA LOT MORE credibility if we didn’t pull the same exact stupid overblown headline stunts the leftists do.

But, hey — Evil Party v. Stupid Party.

I’ve little evidence it’ll EVER be anything else.

They’re Al Capone and his ruthless crime organization; our guys are the effin Keystone Cops; rubber billy clubs and all.

It is nice to see someone on our side actually say it though, and sincerely mean it

Cotton started to shout and erupt after he lost the thread of his argument. It was pathetic.

Meanwhile, Garland has the American stasi monitoring parents at school boardmeetings.

Is it just me or is Garland just a bit ghoulish? He looks like they should be throwing dirt on him!
