Biden's opinion is the only one that matters on this Kaleva Jan 6 #5

Joe Biden says he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland, documented in the Guardian. Intractable Jan 6 #27

That isn't a direct quote Kaleva Jan 6 #33

It has been widely publicized and not refuted. Intractable Jan 6 #36

If democracy was truly on the line, should Biden have been concerned about publicity? Kaleva Jan 6 #40

Every move Biden makes is under tremendous scrutiny. Intractable Jan 6 #48

So, Biden keeping Garland on as AG was the best choice for this nation then Kaleva Jan 6 #60

Again, Biden made these comments at the end of his administration. Intractable Jan 6 #62

He is reported to have made comnents Kaleva Jan 6 #63

"all we can do is accept reality" Intractable Jan 6 #64

Biden will soon be out of the picture Kaleva Jan 6 #65

Would you consider Biden to be a facilitator of evil then? Kaleva Jan 6 #35

or Biden's mom for birthing him? Think. Again. Jan 6 #37

Isn't Biden Garland's superior? Kaleva Jan 6 #41

Nope, Biden has always been very clear he would not interfere with DOJ business. Think. Again. Jan 6 #44
