Frank's Musings

Merrick Garland approaches his AG job as an appeals court judge—refusing to take action before giving thought to all aspects. An AG should act like a prosecutor—forming a theory of the applicable law and quickly s following through.

Of course, he doesn’t act as if he were the President’s lawyer—that was how William Barr played his role under Trump.  However, Garland has so far been disappointing to progressives who expected more active enforcement of federal laws regarding social equity.
