In reply to the discussion: Merrick Garland is Getting a Bum Rap (posting because we don't have enough controversy here ;)) [View all]Ocelot II
(122,364 posts)That would be the same Harry Litman who's been lauded and extensively quoted right here on DU. The selfsame Harry Litman who is a former law clerk for SCOTUS Justices Thurgood Marshall and Anthony Kennedy, former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Assistant AG in the Clinton administration and is now a law professor and regular commentator on MSNBC. That Harry Litman, the one we used to love and cite regularly. Nevertheless, now we know that he's a moron because he has tragically failed to recognize that Merrick Garland is an agent of Satan. I'm not sure why the devout Catholic Joe Biden would have appointed an agent of Satan but obviously he did. And now Litman has committed the heresy of arguing that even if Garland had indicted Trump as soon as had been humanly possible, or even if Sally Yates or Jesus Christ had been the AG instead of Garland, the cases against Trump could not have been completed in time for the 2024 election. Litman says that the interference of Judge Cannon and the immunity decision by SCOTUS would have stopped the process in its tracks no matter when it started! How ridiculous! How would a guy like Harry Litman have the faintest idea how the federal criminal process even works? It was all Garland's fault, every bit of it, and anyone who suggests otherwise must be a craven tool of Trump and maybe also Satan.
