an open letter to Garland Merrick
I don't think you should be the Attorney General of the United States...You were a very good judge, and should have been on the supreme court, but a judge is a defender of the law, a shield between the lawless and immoral and the good people of the country.
The Attorney General is a defender as well, but only in the sense that a good offense is the best defense...You no longer carry a shield, you now carry a sword...USE IT.
Our democracy is under grave threat from the machinations of the republican party. They have conspired by gerrymandering and out right lying, behind closed doors, to place as many republicans in sensitive local offices as the can, so that they can interfere in the next elections. They have achieved a grievously packed supreme court that is aiding and abetting the republican's criminal schemes.
You HAVE to press charges against as many of them as you can...if they're allowed to remain in office through the 2022 elections, they will use the positions they have already gained to lie, cheat and steal their way into even more positions, in preparation for the 2024 presidential elections...
those slates of false electors have to be charged, the republican senators and congress people who aided the plot have to be charged.
I don't expect you to prosecute trump immediately, if ever. He has become more or less irrelevant...the real damage to the republican party would come from putting as many of them in a cell as humanly possible between now and November, and the one funny thing in this whole travesty is that they would be doing the damage to themselves.
Their carefully laid plots would fall apart with many of the key facilitators sitting in a prison cell.
Then it would be time to start impeaching perjurers from the supreme court...But that can't happen, if you don't help dismantle their criminal organization right now.
You are no longer a shield, BE the sword.
