GOP Senator Strikes Back with Plan to Grind Garland’s Department to a Halt

One Republican senator has a plan that could give Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice pause about politically-charged prosecutions.

Sen. J.D. Vance pledged to block President Joe Biden’s nominations for personnel at the DOJ in a Tuesday video statement.

“I will hold all DoJ nominees,” Vance said of the plan.

Vance announced the tactic the day that former President Donald Trump appeared at an arraignment hearing in a Miami federal courthouse.

“It’s time we stopped just whining about this problem and debating this problem and actually do something about it.”

“I’ve announced today that I will be holding all Department of Justice nominees that Merrick Garland will use, if confirmed, not to enforce the law impartially… but clearly to harass his political opponents.”

“I think we have to grind this department to a halt until Merrick Garland promises to do his job and stop going after his political opponents.”
