John Cornyn: “That is not to say our system is perfect, because it is far from it. We need to do a lot to make it better.”

This morning I had a very good conversation with judge Merrick Garland, who President Biden has nominated for attorney general.

President Trump needs someone in this role, as well with a strong legal mind, but who also is close enough to him to give him confidential legal advice to tell him hard truths.

If there’s not enough votes to confirm him, then Senator Grassley might decide to postpone it. But I don’t think that’s the No. 1 goal right now.

That's a convenient excuse, and it happens to be untrue.
