Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 years old, why Garland would take the AG job?
Everyone assures me that being a Federal Judge is like the choicest of gigs.
AG seems like a step down. I guess if he figures he is going to retire soon anyway, maybe he figures it’s an interesting way to go out. And he ensures a good replacement for his seat.
I don’t see Garland really going scorched Earth on the facists, so I it’s not a great pick, imo.
My ideal pick is still someone who was not even in the conversation: Walter Schaub. He won’t let anyone get away with shit.
