That's why two of Biden's closest advisors tried to get him to select Doug Jones instead of Merrick Garland in the first place.

Even Biden has publicly expressed regret for selecting Garland.

And I never stated that Garland didn't drop the ball. You're arguing for the sake of arguing.

You're excused.

Now I'm putting you on permanent ignore.
