The Senility of Merrick Garland

It was three weeks ago today that the House voted to send a criminal referral to the Dept. of Justice concerning Steve Bannon's failure to respond to a subpoena from the committee looking into the January 6th insurrection. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently said that he was still studying "the facts and the law". It is hard to see what there is to "study". The facts are that Bannon willfully ignored a lawful subpoena, and the law is that it is wrong to do so. It shouldn't take three weeks to figure this out.

In answering a reporter's question on this, Garland looked and sounded like an old man, on the verge of senility. Obviously a younger and more energetic person is needed for this important job.
