    I suppose if nothing else, it shows that the Justice Department is making decisions independently of the White House, as it should.

    So do you think Biden didn’t understand how the federal government worked when he made this campaign pledge or do you think he knowingly lied to voters about being able to do something he couldn’t?

      I think he had multiple priorities when deciding to name Merrick Garland as AG. Its obvious that Garland doesn’t have the same ideas about the Death Penalty that Biden has, yet he named him anyway. Is that breaking a campaign promise?

      do you think he knowingly lied to voters

      He’s been known to do that a lot even by politician standards, yeah.
