Casi fifty years after the Republican senators debated their confirmation plans as magistrate of the Supreme Court, the juries Merrick Garland presented the Monday in the Senate for his first public hearing as President Joe Biden’s fiscal general.
There is a long wait for confirmation for Garland, although the final will be presented to Senate before being admitted to another post.
Garland was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve on the Supreme Court in March 2016 to mark the end of the death of President Antonin Scalia in February of this year.
For the Republicans who control the Senate blockade their confirmation arguing that it was an electoral year and that they should hope until after the elections for the next presidential nominee to replace Scalia.
The Democrats push the grit to the sky, but do not immortalize the entourage of the Senate’s mayoral bank, Mitch McConnell and Garland’s confirmation hearing never took place.
This time the story will be different. Garland’s confirmation seems imminent that now Democrats control both chambers. Although the Senate is divided 50-50, Democrats support the support of Vice President Kamala Harris as a vote of dissent.
“I can announce that the committee will follow in the footsteps of bipartisans,” said panel chairman Dick Durbin, a Democrat. Politico. “Garue Juez will serve in the Department of Justice and our country with honor and integrity. He is a nominee supported by all who need to be confirmed to pay their debts on credit. “

The senators will be able to hear the writings written by the parishioners and Garland until February 28 to respond, according to the calendar of the Senate Judicial Committee. The committee’s confirmation vote is scheduled for March 1.
Behind that will be the record of 2016. And that, one time in the presidency, Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch as Scalia’s replacement.

The shadow of Trump
To be confirmed, the most difficult political issue is that Garland will decide whether to investigate and bring Trump to justice. Biden said that this decision would be taken in the Department of Justice and that it would not intervene in any case.
“You are not the President’s Deputy President or Vice President. No my debes lealtad. If he debates the law, the Constitution, the people of this country “, dijo Biden appealing to Garland to announce the nomination
The Republicans of the Senate are likely to approve the Garland hearing to be questioned by his post about the investigations that the Department of Justice will be conducting on January 6th.
Many Democrats believe that the Department of Justice should step down with Trump to instigate the insurrection to its followers the 6th of January, when hundreds of invading attackers in the Capitol with the end of frustrating the certification of the Electoral College that lifts it. Trump was led to political juiciness by his paper on the side of the absenteeism of the Senate with the Republican support.
The Trump arena has been following suit since the attack and has been conducting investigations into what the Congress will create a special committee to formulate the September 11 attacks to carry out an exhaustive and extensive investigation into the attack. opaque.
Pero the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, in the final of the political juicie, practically invited to investigate the President, who was “morally and practically” responsible for the violence of that day (even if he voted against it) condens).
Five years after the blockade was passed in the Supreme Court, McConnell’s claim that he was able to obtain a fine on the subject of the future fiscal general.
