John Cornyn: “We need to get our fiscal house in order, something that the administration pays lip service to but seems uninterested…”

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

They just don’t want to do it.

Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well-suited to lead the Department of Justice, and I appreciated his commitment to keep politics out of the Justice Department.

I think we were very close to resolving our differences in a way that was acceptable to the Department of Justice, but it’s clear that the president decided that was unacceptable.
