former President Obama chose him as the next SC justice after the death of Antonin Scalia and that President Joe Biden chose him as AG. Some people cannot fathom questioning the choices of these two democratic presidents. How dare some insinuate that President Biden made a bad choice! Well, Merrick Garland is no Democrat. He's associated with the Federalist Society. That doesn't explain everything about his actions or inactions but, is a good starting point. He's stated that he didn't want to appear partisan. If crimes are committed you prosecute them regardless of that person's political affiliation. You're prosecuting people for crimes, not trying to pass some test of how biased you may be. It's called justice.

My opinion, he needs to go.
