He lives. We all thought Merrick Garland was gone after cocaine Mitch kept him off the

Supreme Court. But Merrick Garland is back. Long after the left mourned his loss, the Democrats

rent their garments and national their teeth. Merrick Garland is back. He is Joe Biden's nominee

for Attorney General. And I actually don't mind this nomination all that much relative to some

of the other picks because one, it's kind of funny. Merrick Garland became this meme after he

was nominated to the court. And now he's back. It'd be sort of like if Harambe came back to that

zoo, you know, everyone would kind of get a kick out of that. But the other reason, the more

substantive reason why I wasn't so upset about Garland is he was the most moderate of the Joe

Biden prominent nominees. So I thought, okay, we can breathe a sigh of release at least he's not

going with some crazy left-winger for Attorney General. And then Merrick Garland testified on

Capitol Hill. He was grilled by a bunch of senators on his views. Turns out he's not all that moderate.

Here's Josh Hawley, Republican Senator, asking a very simple question, Merrick Garland, will you

continue to enforce our Southern border? And the answer, pretty weak stuff.

Do you believe that illegal entry at America's border should remain a crime?

Well, I thought about that question. I just haven't thought about that question. I think,

you know, the president has made clear that we are a country with the borders and with the concern

about national security. I don't know of a proposal to decriminalize, but still make it unlawful

to enter. I just don't know the answer to that question. I haven't thought about it.

Will you continue to prosecute unlawful border crossings?

Well, this is again a question of allocation of resources. We will, the department will

prevent unlawful crossing. I have to admit, I just don't understand no exactly what the

conditions are and how this is done. I just know it doesn't. Well, simple question, Merrick.
