Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tore into Attorney General Merrick Garland in an angry diatribe at a Senate oversight hearing for having done ‘nothing’ to arrest protesters outside Supreme Court Justices’ homes.
Cruz made the claim during a speech and questioning where he said the Justice Department had been ‘politicized to the greatest extent I’ve ever seen in this country.’
He referenced protests that were organized outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices following the extraordinary leak of the draft opinion in the Dobbs case that revealed the justices were planning to strike down Roe v. Wade.
‘You did nothing! The Department did nothing,’ he scolded Garland at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. ‘You again sat on your hands and did nothing.’

Sen. Chuck Grassley interrogated Attorney General Merrick Garland over the Hunter Biden investigation Wednesday, revealing for the first time that “over a dozen sources” had tipped off the FBI and Justice Department to potential criminal activity by the first son.
“Recent lawfully protected whistleblower disclosures to my office indicate that the Justice Department and FBI had — at one time — over a dozen sources that provided potentially criminal information relating to Hunter Biden.” Grassley (R-Iowa), 89, told Garland during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “The alleged volume and similarity of information would demand that the Justice Department investigate the truth and accuracy of the information.”

GOP Senator Kennedy questions Garland about memo ordering the FBI to go after parents.
The U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the FBI and the IRS are all under the influence and control of this disgraceful, dishonest, unethical, traitorous, socialist Democrat Party.
The reign of the Socialist Democrat Party State Dictatorship is just getting started. If WE the PEOPLE do not STOP them!!
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers, Gestapo, Woke and Cancel Culture are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the policies of the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as “Enemies of the State” and “Domestic Terrorists”.
HOWS about stop with this chicken spit handling of him, AND CRIMINALLY CHARGE HIM FOR lying to congress already!
If it involves admission of guilt and/or self incrimination, you can bet he doesn’t want to answer a question.
I don’t think Garland had a very good day yesterday. I look forward to seeing more of the same.
TILL Criminal charges are levvied, he’s ok imo.
Watched hearing on cspan & it confirmed my worst fears of the criminal hubris & the illegal political / govt malfeasance that the Dem Party of Tyranny has imposed on American citizens.
The universal attitude of Garland & indeed of all the political appointees, judges & other corrupt sycophants in the Biden admin / Dem Party is that we freely admit that long as we have the power we will do whatever we want be it obviously illegal, unjust or unfair, so holler all you want there is nothing you can do about it.
Garland, via his DOJ actions, has publicly shown his arrogant contempt for & sadistic willingness to threaten, harass & bend / break the law to severely penalize anyone who disagrees with his benefactors & collaborators in the Dem Party.
Not one single easily identified protester on video brazenly threatening SC justices at their homes has been charged, prosecuted or imprisoned by Garland DOJ for their crimes which clearly requires fines & 1 year in jail or both.
The failure to prosecute this undeniable violation of federal law is not prosecutorial discretion but is the Garland DOJ complicity to intimidate SC justices for political motives.
AND the failure of the GOP TO pimp slap the Dept of Just US, because of this, shows their cowardice!
Good on Ted for lighting into Garland. If it’s OK for the FBI to harass parents for complaining at school board meetings, then it’s OK for them to bust folks that harass SC justices at their homes.
If these Dems didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all. Thank the Lord Garland didn’t get onto the Supreme Court!
Words. that’s all this was. TILL I SEE action i will NOT be giving one iota of praise to the GOP.
Enough. This traitor belongs in prison.
We dodged a bullet: Imagine that power-abusing, partisan hack with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
