Merrick Garland is an man of honor & integrity. He has significant prosecutorial experience, including at the DC USAO. He’s an accomplished judge: fair, civil & loyal to the rule of law. We now look forward to him holding all criminal politicians accountable for their crimes.

Also, while we're here, I really don't appreciate people telling me to give Garland "a chance" when those people haven't actually READ HIS OPINIONS on issues with the police.

He's deferential to police power, almost uninformedly. WHICH IS NOT WHAT THE MOMENT DEMANDS.

Besides naming Garland to the role of attorney general, Biden tomorrow will also tap three women to senior roles — Lisa Monaco as deputy, ⁦@vanitaguptaCR⁩ as associate AG and ⁦@KristenClarkeJD⁩ as head of civil rights. W/⁦@MikeBalsamo1⁩ https://t.co/NmtsbDLiiL

ANYWAY... I like Gupta and Clarke and the rest of the team. This is how it's going to be with Biden for four years.
