Whether you voted for Johnson, or your age at the time, is, as you know, utterly beside the point.

The point is, that you have been arguing that Garland cannot be questioned because he is THE DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY GENERAL!!11!!1

I am simply pointing out, in my apparently far too subtle way, that Democrats can, in fact, do things that are driven by politics, by systemic realities, by many things that are not necessarily matters of right and wrong.

But you have now played your trump card and what can I say? You have met Biden and talked policy with him!

How can I possibly question your judgment?

Seriously, my friend. You have revealed yourself here.

Not that this is, by any means, the first time.
