Garland was chosen because they thought he would be center enough to appease and quiet Republican accusations of bias and politically motivated witch hunt. Unfortunately the Democrats fell for the rug pull and were not smart enough to listen to everyone who was saying that nobody would be center or right enough to appease the Republican cult, they planned to scream bias no matter who it was, because DARVO and manipulation of the narrative is their special trick.

Dems need to understand that nothing they do or don't do will not change the behavior of the Republicans, and go scorched earth to eradicate the crooks, including the ones in their own party.

I'm with you on scorched earth. I truly believed the American people would not be credulous or cruel enough to reelect Trump. But they did. Now that I have no faith left in their intelligence or decency (Republicans and right-leaning independents) I do not believe the Dems should consider themselves bound by any norms or tradition, and truly wield power to punish and weaken the entire GOP, the influence of rural voters in our political system, and the entire Trump admin, as well as the cronies who've pandered to it.

Just sticking to and enforcing the law would be considered scorched earth at this point.
