you know, i've been scathing in my criticism of elizabeth warren's presidential run, but i'll concede she'd be a useful park in the attorney-general's position, as she'd have to actually implement some policy, or at least fail dramatically in doing so. she played nicely in the end, right? she should get a spot in cabinet?

and, what did we get for attorney-general?

merrick fucking garland.

i warned you about the return of merrick garland, i told you it was coming. you know he'd have been the pick for supreme court if they'd have managed to block the confirmation of amy coney barrett. but, it looks like they'll have to wait until another spot opens up, and they've parked him at attorney-general to wait for it.

continuity in governance provides confidence for the business community. stability ensures predictability.
