Thank God he’s not on the Supreme Court. Then again, I’m not confident we can depend on Barrett and Cavanaugh.
Judge Merrick Garland, who’s been tapped by Joe Biden to be the next Attorney General, told a Senate confirmation panel on Monday that there’s “room” for Biden’s anti-gun policies to be enacted into law, and if confirmed he’ll work with the administration to carry out its gun control agenda.
Garland was asked by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah about Biden’s plan to ban AR-15s and other commonly-owned modern sporting rifles and whether he thought such a ban would be legal. While Garland avoided a straight answer, he made it clear that he’ll be a rubber stamp for whatever policies Biden pursues.
“As I’m sure you know, the president is a strong supporter of gun control and has been an advocate all of his life, professional life, on this question. The role of the Justice Department is to advance the policy program of the administration as long as it is consistent with the law,” Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
